That one was strong, decrepid: fierce.
Had me by the throat for a painful while.
Sharp tears cut my motionless pale face.
The darkness covered, but the night knew,
like it always does.
Running town down, away from you,
screaming my injustice, aggravated defence.
I want you gone.
Speeding through it day after week it slows to a crawl;
that memory you left.
Red, black blood stains that place in time.
A spot unremoved,
that pain undenied,
that girl swallowed whole;
only to be reborn on the other side.

ring knock knock knock call ring again
see what it does
see me cut the anchor.
tenuous and small,
that string
that strung me to you.

alone please
after and before
tomorrow and later
just in case
but beside the point
preventing a mistake
by creating a disaster
I will save and salvage
the pieces you thought were you
shiny pretty and new,
put back
away
alone
...
