Im a strong woman
So its ok to leave me
A vampire coaxed out of the shadows
Only to be exposed to the light
As she reveals herself
stark and raw
The uttermost
unflattering
version of me
My naked bones
With innocence
still clinging to my core
A baby flicker
In a hollow ribcage
A glow that entices pests
Like the mosquito zapper
In my grandparents camper
I understand the root of why this happened
I remember our agreement
But it doesn't make it hurt less
A door slamming in the face
Sudden amnesia
Im a ghost to you
But you feel like a missing limb
You feel like a aneurysm
Like waking from a coma in another decade
The Titanic iceberg
And I mourn everything I didn't know
I was saying goodbye to
The last of everything......
I'll never be your girl again
Those words choke on my tongue
Tighten my chest
Lock up my jaw
Make me call out your name
But I'll be a strong woman
So it's ok to leave me
