unzip my spine
turn my skin inside out
and burn everything it houses.
I'm sick to death of the casualties of my mistakes,
my chronic failures like a fire burning down
those I love most.
break the record
I don't want to keep replaying
these old patterns.
look me in the eye
and tell me I'm not the common denominator
of all the times something broke.
I want to see you try to lie
don't patronize me,
if this was the test
I've failed it again.
I'm not sure I believe in
starting again anymore-
I'm too tired to get up again
purity is too far out of my grasping hands.
