my loved ones
are all falling
apart
dripping construction-paper
[stalks of] bleeding hearts
onto rainy pavement
mother maple
tree was felled
by eating the emotions
her daughter claimed to quell
sadness trapped her mouth like glue
now she aches to see you [whole]
twinlike,
carbon copies right down
to the scars on their wrists-
diamond sharp rapier-wits
clash together-
advice isn’t worth it.
peeling sliverscabs of guilt
off, never ceasing the habit
endings:
brown hair, red-eyed tears
confessions dunked in coffee
dribbling powdery pill-crumbs
[her vices vary, now her only vibrancy]
ocean-bound, she drank
too much salt water
and puked her guts out
i can’t say i’m not watching her
knuckle said
i won’t stop
this self-injury madness
if it keeps me believing
i’m something romantic
knuckle said
to the concrete
yeah, i’m a real
winner
