My heart began to tick away time
Like fingernails to a table
Running out the clock on our relationship
Running out the excuses in my brain
I became so good at weaving lies,
I kept myself warm even when your arms were far.
When a person freezes to death,
They take off their clothes
in a phenomenon known as paradoxical **********
Taking off my
lies
excuses
folly that you're good for me
was the hardest part of
learning where we were.
In letting go.
In death.
