I am caught between two sets of chains; One digs into my flesh with patches of rust Entering my bloodstream through old wounds I gave myself in years before… The toxins take action ever so slowly. Another is of satin, Gently caressing my knuckles Making me happier— I think— Than I’ve ever been in my whole life, But there’s pressure on my clavicles As the pull becomes stronger. I have cried over you All the while I’ve been saying: ‘I love you’ For I know that I feel more deeply Than you could ever feel I see farther forward Then you’ve ever dared to look, And I’m trapped here with my Adoration for you, And I already miss you.

A Breakup Poem
I am caught between two sets of chains; One digs into my flesh with patches of rust Entering my bloodstream through old wounds I gave myself in years before… The toxins take action ever so slowly. Another is of satin, Gently caressing my knuckles Making me happier— I think— Than I’ve ever been in my whole life, But there’s pressure on my clavicles As the pull becomes stronger. I have cried over you All the while I’ve been saying: ‘I love you’ For I know that I feel more deeply Than you could ever feel I see farther forward Then you’ve ever dared to look, And I’m trapped here with my Adoration for you, And I already miss you.
