one foot a head

and head in hand

your letter scared me

and i'm feeling bitter

the words cut me

my eyes bleed

i'm not me

i'm in agony

my soul is being ripped

going in two directions

i calm myself

and my feet are being pulled

back down to the earth

i'm calming myself

i breathe

and i rip your letter

sigh

turn around

and decide

walk the wrong way
