Shoebox

night forest
blank reluctance
I saw you there

rain dripping
lighter clicking
deep brown eyes
holding me so close

I saw you
that cold grin
so pleased with
your Art form

numb reactions
freezing fingers
lock your door girl
I'm coming

the knife slit
her soft skin
a tear then
her blood thin

this morning
I woke to find her
dismanteled
under my bed

a blue hand
hung over
the shoebox
inside my head

I helped her
pathetic
covertor
oh how I want her

you know me
you asked for this
you pressed till
it came down to this

I hear you
where are you right now
as if you know how

you angel
you all that I see
i failed you
but i'm so proud of me
