it isn't about the
words
or even the actions
it's about watching
the tender parts
fade
red circles spreading
like the spider's bite
dead at the center
even the hope of
re-growth
will be scared
a caloused shadow
of past events
I do not know
how to view these things
the uninvited injuries
that always
take me by surprise
I miss the part of myself
that trusted
I am too
old
to lose my childhood
