He told her to never fear/ because he’d always be there/ always be near/ always care/ but he tossed her out/ as soon as it became clear/ she was no paragon of perfection
no
methylene-dioxy-methamphetamine (ecstasy)
of the highest purity
of an indefinite quantity
but as flawed as him
just as torn.
he kicked her out/into the cold world/with no cloth/to hold up her breast/ to cover her chest/ to preserve her warmth/prevent the freezing of her heart/the loss of her humanity/ against descent into insanity.
he wasn’t there
he wasn’t near
he didn’t care.
she willingly takes her leave/ but a piece of her/ the bit that promised to never let him go/ holds on still.
