finally you break me. i tell you, “you’re killing me, babe.” i tell you, “i can’t fight for this anymore.” but as the words regrettably tumble out of my mouth and spill at my feet into a pile, i am frantic. i am trying to roll them back up like silk ribbons slipping between my fingers. i finally collect them. i get off my knees and stuff my spool of words back behind my lips but as i look up to smile at you i see you’ve already walked away from me.
