Why Didn’t You Want Me?

Through these newborn eyes, I see

lilting cradle song of bitter regret

unraveled thread of my sweater

latched onto your bracelet

holding on to amethyst shadow hours

security blanket pulled away

as I scream for our broken bond

given away like powder of snow

scattered in slanted frozen air

icicles stabbing my heart

doomed to stumble again and again

through wretched tinsel streets

clutching on to fragile walls.

Why didn’t you want me?
