i think it’s a good thing,
how we can struggle in such desperation
for clarity and still never find a way to make
any sense of how they treated us…
i think it means we’re just not capable of
that same cruelty within ourselves.
and i think that’s a really good thing.

the rebound relationship.
You’re using one person to try to

to heal, to renew, to grow, to become.

and if they reach a hand down
to pull you out,

you do not drag them into the dark,
but go with them…
go with them into the light

trace my fingers
so slow
down your forearm
over every inch of
your tattoos,
just taking in your skin,
letting it tell me all
your stories,
even the ones you
couldn’t say…
i’m terrified i’ll always
miss that.
