allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

how is it

that after it all

which wasn’t

it after all

i am more sorry

than you

that it happened

with mouthfuls of how

than that it didn’t

*

my hands were too soft

because she was tired

sleepy in them

dreaming of another day and person

who would roughen her up

a little

until she felt

a little less

like she

comfortable

warm

held

on the other hand

look

*

i have severed all

communication with a past love

but still my heart knocks

hoping for a little light

in a body so dark

and severed

*

you never did apologize

only that you could not regret it

at once

at last

at all
