Are my fingers turned to knives now
That every touch just cuts your life now
Or is that what you fear?

Perhaps past gashes were too deep
Such that forever from them seeps
Only sad reminders?

Have my poor actions & reactions
Swallowed all your words; you shun
All hope of contact?

Did broken trust & boundaries crossed
Secure this absolute loss
Of you?

How can I prove I have changed?
Or am I self-deluded?
Can I ever earn a fresh new start?
Is our book concluded?

Still only silence greets
Wandering this cemetery keeps
Trickling tears of sad confusion
Chilly on my cheeks

Please don’t die again today
