SCARS
April 23, 2013
YOU KISSED MY PALM
ANDI WATCHED IT BURNED THROUGH MY SKIN
BONES
MUSCLES
TENDONS
AND IT TURNED TO ASH.
THERE WAS NO PAIN
NO EXCITEMENT
NO SADNESS
JUST N U M B N E S S
AND I WATCHED WITH INTRIGUE COUNTING THE SECONDS
MINUTES
YEARS
WITH A SCAR ON MY PALM
CONSTANTLY REMINDING ME
YOU WERE HERE.
