…4 yrs and 3 minutes

…one hasn’t called in 4 years-

and when the other does, they have 3 minutes, so i must be quick-

did i not love deep enough?

i wasn’t perfect- but i never hit them- never paraded the home with men- hell, i didn’t even use the word ‘shut up’-

but somewhere i failed-

somewhere i did-

so i cling close to my last, almost too close- because i am afraid to have been cut open four times, and be left in a world without even one.
