  

This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly
you begin to forget I ever existed.

All of me - the parts of flesh
you never quite learned to love
slips quietly down the drain.

I am waiting for the day your fingers
unscrew the pipes,
dig through the mess,
scrape your heart against rust,
just to find me again,
so we can do it all over.

Here, in these pages, I find myself.
In ink pressed against my flesh,
I whisper the sadness,
the heartache,
the decay
meant for all the
unspoken.
