Subject: i feel like a bitch

today i’ve come to
the conclusion that
i hate assumptions.
and it’s ignorant
to think walking in
step is the same as
walking the same path.
plastered on your face
is an image so
intensely shallow
i have to resist
scraping off the
loose fibers.

finishing my sentence doesn’t mean
completing my thoughts.

and i always see you,
one step behind.
a tidal wave of bows
for your turpentine smile.
but you don’t let them
down, with those
sugar-coated words
you swing to their necks.
lying an inch thick
on the tip of your
red tongue.
an ego like yours doesn’t
falter under pressure.

hidden in your grip
is hot coal, ready
to sear. but even
that lets off steam
with your cool touch.

and you hit me,
with a slap so fast
only a blind eye
can see it.
and a wound so
immense that it
leaves no trace.

i shiver when i think we used to be one and the same.
