For Chloe Rose.
I want to crawl inside my body
neatly stitch together the pieces of myself that you indelicately ripped away
I would settle for the opportunity to cauterize the dripping wounds, but no
I can feel myself seeping out of those moments
I wander away from you
while I ooze cellular rot like a trail of breadcrumbs
When you find me
I apologize for the mess
I mop up the only path that leads
away from this hell, from this crusty, disgusting hell that we've created
If I muster the strength to leave again
I have nowhere left to go
No one wants to hear about it anymore
No one wants to see the dust in the sunbeam, the truth
No one wants to admit that they could have helped
there is a dark morning looming, when you will be seen
I will breathe deep, and remember who I am
and you will begin to burn
