Who? What? When? Where? Why?
Who?
sometimes
i wish
i could hate
You
and I could act as if all
You
ever did
was bad
and then i harken back to
the pain
your father
inflicted on
You
and how
You
felt all these things
about him
and the fact that
he was your
who
and
his father
was his
creating a cycle
of broken kings
wearing
a crown of thorns
sewn into
our scalps
and a robe
of weights
embedded in
our skin
I wonder who
started the cycle
and
if i
can break it
did
You
try?
What?
is it the dress
you picture
Me
wearing?
or
is it the makeup
I
will apply
after?
Or
is it the fucking gorgeous
six inch heels
that will be placed upon
My
feet?
what is it?
what part of it
disgusts you the most?
When?
I
was trying to remember
when
I
began to resent
you
but
I
can’t find
those memories
they seem to belong to
someone else
a different person
who lived
those experiences
and
I
just learned
to feel
those same things
I
wish
so desperately
that
I
could remember
so
I
can begin
to heal
Where?
where were
You
when
You
first noticed
I
wasn’t a man?
did
You
notice and
ignore it?
or
did it hit
You?
like a train
like a landmine
like a punch
like it did
when
You
told
Me
Why?
there’s so much more
I
want to ask
You
but
I
Will have to settle for
Why?
