i’m penitent—
i leap limber from the words i should say
swinging from vines no foresight but forward

i’m erroneous—
please don’t make me acknowledge your pain i feel it already just please let me be

i’m penitent—
coherence creeps up my spine a cold rush
nauseous i realize i am othello

i’m erroneous-
a villain since birth a blue eyed blonde kid
heart heaving face slick cause seemingly gone

i’m penitent—
please i want to be good for you i try
but it’s not enough please don’t leave me
