Who Are You?
Tears stream down your face.
Do I even know you?
I always thought I did.
Your secrets are heavy —
crushing me.
I can’t breathe.
I can’t feel this.
I can’t face this.
If I do, I’ll break
and lose myself completely.
So what am I supposed to do?
I’m numb.
Nothing can hurt me.
I’ll lay here —
as I do best —
and welcome
the feet crushing my chest.
