Stitched Skin
Should I begin with
“I’m sorry”?
I’m sorry.
I’m really so very sorry.
I pleaded with you
to put your wrists in harm’s way.
On the line.
And then I forgot to hold mine out
for more than a moment
after you joined me.
I was ready…
…but then you weren’t.
Now you are, and you wait.
And all I can say is
“I’m sorry.”
So very sorry.
I realize I have hurt you
I have hurt you
hurt you
you…
Hurt you.
And I lived for you
sometime ago.
Hurt…
…
…you.
I don’t want to live
without you
But I will not die
with you.
And I love you.
and
I love you
and
i
love
you—
