“You’ve always been the home I can never go home to.”

The cord that held the curtains back made her think: strangle him. She told herself: it’s not that I don’t love him, I just feel morbid tonight.

Shirley Jackson, Dark Tales; from 'What a Thought'

wordless

Wounded, I feel, wordlessly

you impose upon me

snaking up and between my legs like these

cheap sheets and

I apologized again-my soul embarrasses me

I wish I could be less of everything

and more of whatever you feel easy

so we lie in quiet again

I hold you against my chest

there's no vocabulary in my head for all this

regret-today all my words failed me

You are mine, the way I love you

and you're not, the way you love me

This has been going on for years and it deserves to be more than a whataboutism
