pierced
"Every time you get hurt, I'll buy you new earrings"
why would you even think that would make me feel better
as if insignificant pieces of jewelry
could reverse the pain you've tattooed into my bones
(why do you choose to hurt me)
I would never wear earrings you've touched anyways
and so now I have box after tiny box of earrings lining my dresser
absorbing dust like the ghosts of my feelings for you
(choking on particles of dead skin)
please, go waste your money on something else
if you had taken the time to get to know me
you would have remembered
my ears aren't pierced
