this was for KIM, the one i let get away. twice. and i will never forgive myself for failing her.

wound


among the scars lies one which tends to ache so fitfully
say - when i lapse - and impale - my heart on a memory

imbedded fragments of regret
chafe what i cant quite forget

the peak by which ive since measured my life
the first time i woke up next to her
naked and accepted

and i dont want to know whose fault or what if
( ive always known whose fault ) and what if
it had only ended worse the second time ---

id just like to know why - it had to end at all
