I tried to write about you,
but you've always lived between the lines of my poetry so every word I jotted down was cleaving the skin off my bones until I became a mess of torn flesh and stifled moans.

I tried to write about you,
but you condensed yourself into every word, every idea and every cell of my still body.
THE PAIN WAS UNBEARABLE.

I tried to write about you,
but I ran out of ink, and the words started accumulating at the base of my throat- I COULD NOT BREATHE AND I COULD NOT SCREAM.

//you killed me.//

I tried to write about you,
but the only word I managed to choke out was "murderer."
