What happened hurt

You know it did It slept in my ribs Like a feral

kid What happened mattered

More than my name Made a home

In smoke and flame It took the shape

Of my spare room wall Sat in my throat Like a declined

call I tried to name it

It turned to glass Slipped through my hands

And split too fast Like water on nails

Like ash in rain Every small hour Feels twice the pain I

lost the one thing

I could not hide

It tore me open

From the inside

The room forgot your shadow

But the paint still knows your name

Every door I leave half-open

Swings back to you a gain

I keep finding your fingerprints In the dust between my thoughts You

left nothing here worth keeping

So why does everything feel lost?

I pass that corner

And the air turns thin Like the world got peeled And let

the dark rush in No grand goodbye

No holy sign Just an empty room That still tastes like mine

A chair with dust

A bent gold frame The walls still lean Toward my old shame

I tried to name it

It broke to salt Left little moons In the chambered vault Now

every small hour

Feels open wide I lost the one thing

I could not hide

The room forgot your shadow

But the paint still knows your name

Every door I leave half-open

Swings back to you a gain I keep finding your fingerprints In

the dust between my thoughts You left nothing here worth keeping

So why does everything feel lost?

And I hate How clearly I see

The bend of the hurt The teeth of the key It split

my breath Like cracked black ice Left my heart in two

Then wanted it twice But here I am My bruised-up heart Holding

a truth That glows in the dark

The ghost in the wallpaper

Still breathes when the house goes still

I pull the thorn out every evening

It grows back against my will

You took the fire when you left me Left the smoke inside

my lungs And every night I swear I've buried you

Then wake up still holding on
