as we fall

dear you:

dear you:
you know who you are
you know who i am
you know why i'm writing.

dear you:
you know,
but you choose to ignore.
this won't change anything.
you will still trip me
and curse me
and tease me
and hurt me.

dear you:
i wish you knew
how much you are hurting me.
do you remember when we were
close?
when you cared?

dear you:
the bruise on my arm is
fading
but there's one inside me
that's black and purple
and it won't go away
no matter how many ointments and
compliments i give it.

dear you:
you really hurt me,
you nearly killed me,
and i'm not talking about the day
you pushed me off the slide at the
park
and broke my arm:
i'm talking about the day
you shut me out.
forever.

dear you:
i
forgive
you
