the brick of my bones
built of neither valor nor vice
colorless.
heaving, shaking, cracking,
undone.
but
but
but
i love you
but.
you took
and took
and took
what
you
wanted.
and left the rest.
rotting. decomposing. forgotten.
betrayed.
alive. and on fire.
the dust that settles.
remnants of you.
left behind.
you shed yourself of me
slipped out of my skin
like
it
was
nothing.
