to the dogs, or whoever

i have a tendency to hold onto things for an abnormally long amount of time. things that damage my self and are useless, dead weight. things other people do; there they rest, sleeping in my subcutaneous tissue.

forgiveness is a giant ferris wheel. it only turns a full rotation once an epoch. when it does, my heart vault opens up and it all spills out. the puddles reach my elbows and i panic. i begin to fling my apologies like rotten tomatoes. have all these parts of me, the small tender, green leafy shoots i've cradled close to me.

IT'S NOT my fault that an ex girlfriend insulted my illusions of beauty.
IT's NOT my fault that an ex girlfriend told me i lacked grace, as i fell and twisted my bones.
IT'S NOT my fault that a friend was so insecure she accused me of flirting a guy she liked.
IT'S NOT my fault that this list could be longer.
OH.
YES IT IS.

I've freed myself of them all, through time, meditation, and laying my hands upon my body.
I will let my desire creep out, to cause havoc. I cannot be held responsible for what I do to your body.
You're just so pretty.
Please be here now.
