I sent my teeth through my lip
And when it happened, I forgot. I forgot why I jammed knifes into my hips every night to the drumming beat of nostalgia. He is humming along as my body arches like a wave beneath his. I am motionless and my mind is running. I forgot why I smile at the stoic people trying to ignite their coldness into a kindling warmth. My blood signs the marriage and death certificate, you are one of us now, they will own me someday. I forgot why I gave myself to charity and people with locks on their hearts. I would try every key, but they have taken all that is left of me. I forgot as I hover below the water, my teeth through my lip, I can see the surface of my future in the palms appearing before the pines. And I take a breath in the water and peer longingly towards the light. I’ve hurt him. I’ve hurt him. It was an accident...
Right?
