‘Tamago Roll’

so it is thumb tacks in your throat.

barely could breathe already

but now it’s severance

and cold, hungry rage.

•

why

all these falsehoods?

•

a spoken word is strong

against a wavering heart,

though,

I am not worth even that

am I?

•

bittersweet,

how your tongue tastes:

desperation,

coating every syllable you drawl

in neutrality and indifference,

and how could you forget?

he’ll never love you.

he never did.

•

but I did.

foolish of me,

in the end.

•

forgive?

forget.
