behind the window

is this right?
is this right?
this is right?
this is right
this is not right.

watch from behind just-a-hair-cracked-open doors
to make sure no witnesses are passing
i have no advice for you
but to run and hide.

funnyfunnyfunny
how it always comes down to this
i shut off
and you wait outside my window

do you understand the meaning of this?
the nonexistent love handles,
the red ribbon around my wrist?
it’s become so much easier to mess up now

because i know
that i’m not truly in control.
