i went to lick my wounds
& i noticed
they were gone
funny
i never thought i'd see the day
i'd be so
unaffected
by the thought of u
what would normally send me to bite my lip
doesn't send me
at all
these scabs are soft
paper thin
thin enuff to see thru
i know if i tear it away
there u'll be
all over again
with ure charms
all over again
those pearly whites
all over again
my fear would rise
all over again
so
i stare at this
new growth
nothing like the spine i wanted for xmas
but
i think i like it
almost like
a happy addition to the family
almost like
a welcomed friend to my home
almost like
the pain u caused never was
almost like
there were no other girls
almost like
ure kisses were real
almost like
i've let go of the lies
almost like
my sex wasn't wasted
almost like
i forgave ure abandonment
almost like
almost like
almost like
i'm bleeding
all
over
again
