My first ever edit!

suprasternal notch

far too personal

to speak of.

weigh

poisons

never again.

oleander and lupine

arrives, too late.

you switched off the light when you left my life

and i’m too tired to turn it back on

so i remain, transfixed, lit by the dim glow

from the crack under the door

starving the fields of sadness

that overtook my mind.

Let it remain so. 

Let them find my notebooks

and make their assumptions.

You and I shall know-

there was no happier time.
