improvisation

my self-hatred is etched

where i cannot force the words

to bleed

this is what neglect does to me

once upon a time, a girl was

smiling,

wide-eyed,

butterflied

but when the music ended,

i was left to slow dance

alone

my voice cracked against the metal

and i forgot the words
