I let

you into my home

my heart

I tasted

normal

I let

you

at my table

And you were clear

had to be.

And it hurts.

A rip-bam-slam-shot through my heart

takes me to the floor

a strangling fish

no air

Don’t you see me?

Do you think me a stranger?

Please, my dear.

I will get stronger.

I will feel better.
