“Buried”
Starting new —
A whole, clean slate.
No flaws,
No damage,
And no scar.
The mirror isn’t
Dotted with mildew.
The reflection in the river isn’t
Any more perfect.
I don’t want to be anyone else.
I don’t want you back.
You betrayed,
You harmed,
And you tore apart
Every bit of my soul.
There’s a rift
Between you and me.
A whole in the wall.
A breach in the dam.
Damn it.
A hate you so so much.
