Honest

by Meghan Helmich

I really wish I could care
about your bruises that yellowed after a week
or the way your cat screamed
under the tires of the passing car.

Some things heal in color
and some lay quietly to die.

And sometimes they do those things against our wishes. Or so it seems. Loved this.

honesty is sometimes our way of masking the truth :P Love the images here, disturbing but vivid.
