it's all on the outside
it's scooped out
like a tap on my pinky toe
that keeps leeking
or a wound in my chest
that won't stop bleeding
I keep trying to put the things back
where they belong
hug friends that are no longer friends
kiss lovers that are no longer lovers
watch and rewatch and read and reread
hold and rehold
never let go, never let go
of me
I
ask people to never let go of me
because
I'm not keeping myself together
I ask them to stay
so they can rememeber what I look like
when I forget my own face again
I'm hollowed out
like a gutted fish
it's no wonder that I don't even know
if I still have a reflection
it's all on the outside it's scooped out like a tap on
