I'm tired of being this angry
I'm tired of feeling like all the worst weather catastrophes are inside me when I hear his name
And I'm tired of molding this hurt into something poetic
Because that year wasn't just powdered sugar, Silver sharpie, the soft touch sound of a piano, and the smell of his leather chair mixed with pine cologne
No
It was vulnerable
It was work
It was screaming and panic attacks
Muddled truth and shaped tongue whispersHe wasn't poetic and nothing about him deserves to be described as such
Because to blur the edges
Soften the colors
And romanticize the events of that yearWould mean that what happened was ok
Wasn't sharp enough to draw bloodAnd nothing about being the reason someone has scars is ever ok
