i cannot keep allowing this
the very casual disregard for how I feel
it’s spreading quickly
a cancer distorting moments, stealing memories
and you stand bedside, apathetic
watching the skin’s color drain out
twisting your fingers through my chest
searching, gripping for the heart
and, truth be told, there’s no fight left now
no defense to keep you away, but this-
you have already broken my heart
there is nothing else left to take
