Day: Nov 10, 2022

I try to collect the storylines that I lost,

But my path to joy was rocky and deflated.

No matter the sadness, no matter the cost,

All I wanted was to finally see you elated.

You punished me with roaring silent treatment

As my tears turned into glimmering razors.

I wasn’t a saint, but I wasn’t the demon.

You didn’t have to efface me with an eraser.
