I can't forgive myself
For trying to grab
The bright light of your guilessence
Like a firefly
At those fictional summer camps
Wanting my palm to hold it in my palm
Squash it maybe for a few seconds
To see if it would revive
With my dirty fingernails
Protein isolate under the lunaluas
I can't forgive myself
For trying to contain your light
When it counted in my hands
Begging to be free
To glow through the bland school desk
The white envelopes on the dining table
To nights I spent on my knees
In the bathroom
One hand on the toilet
Other clutching your vibrant glow
I pulled out of you
Sorry for not knowing you have
More glowing balls of innocence
Than I can hold
XOXO
