i am spread so thin on the water
my toes touch the sky
and i am turned around
to watch the sun curse me

whether by fault
or urgency
my teeth chatter to another's
heartbeat

the ending always comes too soon.
i am left alone
collecting my fingernails
and counting my tears


The author's comments:

the anxiety and stress to forgive someone who has not deserved it; they have left a hole in your heart and self-esteem so large that it is irreparable and they are undeserving. sometimes you give in.
