please don't leave
your absence is unbearably
hard to swallow
difficult to stomach
painful to digest
but you force me
to eat every bite
on the plate
filled with static
it tastes like blood
it is so confusing
shocking and metallic
stinging my tongue
and hurting
burning
my throat
please
i don't want this
but you left
and so i have no choice
but to choke on this empty
breakfast
this is not nourishment
this is poison

please
i don't want this

and so i have no choice
but to choke on this empty
