girl, slap yourself awake and inside of you
oh, inside of you but heaven only knows
what can happen now that you've let him in,
now that you've shut him out.
it's inescapable, truly.
your needy hands
your heart's infidelities.
cradling last chances as though you have
nothing
left to lose.
a victim and a murderer all in the same breath.
do you bruise so easy as this
and are you stronger for it

girl, quite possibly this is the ending.
girl, quite possibly this is only the

beginning.
