I keep picking the scabs with the clock hands
My bloody heel prints
marked a path from the
broken clockface to the door
where I wandered
this last time
there was a part of me
that believed we'd meet again
and a smaller part
that wanted to
I limp away
to find a Walgreens
or a CVS
where I can buy
a bottle of peroxide
and a box of band aids
time only heals cuts
you don't re-open

hello beautiful I feel your pain deeply I can't help but pick or the spirits do if for me there is no forgetting and if there is...is it a kindness?

There is no forgetting. But there is resolution, so that the patterns aren't romanticized.
Calling something by it's name and letting it go is a way to stop picking. There is no forgetting. When you forget, it's not a kindness because you fall into the same trough of shit.
You are such a gentle soul my beautiful friend. Thank you for being here.

I know. I am so much better off.
Even in a complicated state, I'm on the precipice of magic daily, and it's better than neural fuckery.
