xii. friction
i can't recall who moved first
but all of a sudden, he was there
searing fingerprints
into my skin
and bruising lips apartand there was only
friction
in his voice
and in his anger
and in himbut nothing quite as
harsh
as our hearts
grating against each other
for power.they always said the tender
hurt the most.
