scenario

whether i ask her again
or just let myself sin

should i cut all of our ties
or just sever my skin from my bones

forgiving the past made
or corrupting the present squandered

i broke down and you were miles away, unknowing.
i’m still falling.

honestly

the worst part is i knew all along.
i knew what would happen to me after i left.
the feeling started in my wrists.
it gradually made it to my palm.
then it crawl up to my fingertips.
it wasn’t a sharp pain.
more like a reminder what i was leaving.

i’ve gotten that feeling time and time again.
i’ve since just rolled my fingers.
occasionally cracking my knuckles.
before i reminisce.
