A Role I'Ve Become With No Recollection
A role I’ve become with no recollection
Of when
Or why it became me
But it has
And I look at your eyelashes when we’re lying beside each other
And I understand a little deeper
How a woman can mold herself to be another
How a woman is when she’s thinking about breathing
How a woman can pretend that the mold feels natural
Even trick herself into breathing
Steady steadier
With a hole in her heart, always throbbing, wondering when this became her nature.
