The insides of me cry and they do it the same way woman on the TV do face red, hysterical, tissue in hand Aching In the way No one can know, I am trying to find the beginnings of this lump in my heart which break can I attribute it to? Learning to Love her, letting her go? The women who bite half moons into her thighs Or the men that tell you it’s okay when they slip their hands into your ******* eyes flooding, inside out So it could never be force? Thinking about how many bus rides I took to Philly, the broken bed frame at the apartment in the Bronx I had to leave your smell got into the paint in the walls. The truth in between spoken words you wish to take back and people a few blocks down, the regret in not taking the long way. or that nothing feels the same when I am with you?
