Pink lips part wide
Spilling truth, spewing lies.
Excuses drift from the mouth
Shh- Can you hear them?
Take a seat on the couch, relax.
Scan your mind for reasons why.
Deep breath. Exhale. Again.
Are you ready?
Convulsions, contorting cement spines.
Breaking bones, such fragile things.
Sticky bodies crashing into one,
All at once it’s done.
Return your shirt to its’ proper place,
Search for the skirt hanging on the lamp.
He wants more. Blemishes form.
You’re not the woman you were before.
Words aren’t found rushing out the door.
