Somwhere deep inside the baffling
whirlwind you caused - that you are
causing
I stand and pull the words
those platitudes
that you threw me like bones
I have snatched them up
put them in my pocket
you can't have them back
I grab I love you
carried by my memory of you touching my cheek
the trees shook
just a breeze
the beginning of the storm
I will do this one by one
you cannot retract it now it's
too late
they didn't come from your
mouth they came from the smoke signal
heartbeat
that beat right next to mine that
I owned!
and now I own the words and
you can't touch them
I could rearrange them and shoot them
poisoned darts right
at your gutless target
rewrite the story and claim it as mine
or slowly feed them back to you
torturous and everlasting
concentration camp
of revenge
but I could spell out a new life
and waste no words on you
