Breakapart
heart starts beating faster than the images that flash before your eyes ; chest is aching, then again it might be that the dress is just too tight ; and now the fun part's over, memories are honeytraps with no more cheques to cash ; i feel ready, years of crooked steadiness are foaming at the mouth and attack. ; heart stops bleeding, it radiates but who knows if it's left or was it right ; a slight distraction, you sensed it from the get-go but you can't go and there's no getting back ; and now a past time lover, wrecked and then recovered, hovers at the doorway and laughs ; and I can't stop feeling - funny how you let what kept you breathing to now eat you alive.;
