Open the freezer to
pull out
the ice cream [I] bought when [I] was in sweatpants at a Wal-Mart,
and instead of drizzling the chocolate syrup into the bowl
[I] find [myself] entangled with him again,
oxytocin (and other hormones) saying,
“This is it? [You] are really
ending this?”
With [my] brain screaming
“WHATARE[YOU]DOING
WHATARE[YOU]DOING
WHAT ARE [YOU] DOING?
Get him out of [you] and move on.”
[I] wish for shared space to be [mine]
again, and for his troubles to fall onto someone
other than [myself].
[I] wish [I] could speak to
[myself] the way he speaks to [me].
[I] wish [I] could treat
[myself] the way he treats [me]
because [I] keep letting the
ice cream melt
before [I] even take [my] first bite.
