I used… hoped… jewelry could be… enough. Convincing.
Shining my circles To polished rings. For you’re…
Consumption. Understanding. In the end. Finality.
Regardless. His head turned. Toward him…
My flag of forfeit, piled at my feet. Helpless. Harmless.
Not one to play. Fool. I suffered. Slit twice.
You… At my wrists… Him. My throat. Sacrificed.
Syllables sift. Diffuse what I miss. Prior possibility.

Replaces, hurting for higher. I never shut off
Openness to gain. New numbness. I confess

Extensive enduring. Endearment of his style.
Used. To masking… I pretend like I’m strong. Act.
But when he drifts, although I miss – it’s genuine.
I won’t stop. Five minute fantasy. Once chance. To switch.
