you cut yourself and bled into my hands
i applied the pressure
i dressed your lesions
you picked at the scabs
you let your wounds fester
and blamed me
for your diseasei'm throwing out the disinfectant
and watching the red slip down the drainwashing my hands of you
because there's nothing i can do— "the worst part about bad people is that you can do nothing to make them better."
