Your Favorite Pen, on my altar
A simple instrument
- geometric pattern, metal gleaming -
that I would use
to stab my wrist, and watch the puddle grow -
no blood, just you,
leeching out of my skin.
as a lever to pull you out -
out of my daily thoughts,
where you linger too long.
"So I won't ever lose you, then?"
"No, you don't have to worry about that."
I would use this pen upon my memory -
to black those lying lines
right out.
