I said, God, give me an answer, or let me die.
and you said, Write.
Now.
God, there are so many voices that I have to scream above them all to drown out the cursing.
And each time I look at her, all I can think is that everything I believed in was a lie. A lie. I fell in love with someone who did not love me. Ever. A lie.
A hissing lie.
A sick, hissing lie
told to a sick, hissing girl
by a sick, hissing woman
And I am pregnant with sin and hate.
Abort the sin.
Abort the self.
Her truth burns like holy water splashed hot-cold against my eyelids;
I shield myself with newspapers from unfolding Hiroshimas
Time and time again.
It hurts to know that I will die like this.
That all doors are closed before I reach them,
that everyone is in love with their ex girlfriends and I can ironically never be an ex-girlfriend,
just a girlfriend who isnt worth loving.
I burn with wrath and I wish I could be so
beautiful and powerful,
that I could twist knives and get off
like chewing gum and walking.
I would have a reason, then,
to atone for the sins I never committed.
All the myths and legends are slipping away;
I think its sexual, sometimes,
to sit in front of a mirror and watch myself finger
Open bulletholes and wounds.

You are powerful.
You dont need to get off on twisting knives to be either.
This is one of the things that I love so much about you.
