Feeling Soft

The tear-stained paper filled with my poetry

has dried out clean,

my mascara-stained pillow

is white once again,

my snot-stained sweatshirt

is spotless, like it's brand new,

every unsaid word

I regret not saying, has left my skin,

every date we had

I remember so vividly

is gone from my body,

every word you told me

that has haunted me

has gone to haunt you,

all the reasons you damaged me,

or what your rough hands feel like

your whiny & piercing voice

has left my mind & my body

and I feel soft, once again.
