fill in the blank

are you surpised?
that im still here 
writing 
breathing 

that i didn't kill myself 
when things were hard

that my grip is still strong 
when i saw no light 

but when i couldn't sleep
and i couldn't write
—i'd think of you 

i learned to convert you to 
edges and curves 

losing myself in translation

where i was the savior 
no dots, no ends 

you wouldn't get it
it didn't hurt you 

so i weep 
and rewrite 

— and carry the burden
hold our lies 

you sit back 
and watch with disgust

as our reshapings 
collapse my back 
and shatter my spine
