Melting into a puddle of whine.

I spit it out time after time.

Everything I touch keeps breaking.

The heat and booze left me melting.

Feeling of rope tied around my wrists.

I just couldn't stand that stupid movie.

I made etchings of broken glass to cope.

It left me with a sickly feeling.

Sometimes his name comes up.

Remember when we ate shrimp po' boys in the rain?

We tried to be quiet so your parents wouldn't hear.

I miss your screw sometimes.

It did me in.

All the loss and change and self-blame punished me.

I was abandoned in black space.

Could you taste it?

Last year I came in last place.

Last year mornings were too much to take.

Last year I spent listening for the clang of the iron gate.

Last year you left me at last.

Broke all the rules last year.

Boy you were something.

What a blue girl you created boy.

Last year I went broke.
