i will be screaming until i can no longer make sound.
the woman after me will see my poem engraved in your head, and the scars i left on you from clawing my way out of your wrath. only then will she realize she is far gone.
i know that one day you’ll be a distant memory, but right now our love is as bright as the dawn.
i scream. i scream so loud. i scream so that my ears are ringing and my jaw hurts. i scream so that tears well up in my sad eyes. i scream my life away. for no one to hear a thing.
i hate big houses. with their empty space. i only have sadness to fill it.
i came home with blood on my hands and you were terrified of what i’d done to someone. it never occurred to you that the blood on my hands was my own.
i know that you love me. it’s palpable.
may is here and i swear yesterday was only january 7th.
