i put the shards
of my heart
you shattered
at your feet
to show you
look
this is what
you made of me.
but the one
who broke you,
he cannot unbreak.
i licked your neck
traced the bruises
i didn’t draw:
sucked harder
on the possession
she tried to
mark you with.
the truth -
you are nobody’s.
you tell me lies:
i am yours,
with your hand
around my throat
and i say
i want to be
and i leave out
why it will remain
a mere desire -
one i will lie awake
every night
wishing
were true.

Beautiful
Solid work! Very sorrowful.
Sara, this was so dark but beautiful
so much hurt and sorrow in so few words, a bleak beauty!
