day 244

This is the first heartbreak poem I've written since December

The first time I let the skin of another woman
crack my spine open,
I fell asleep in the lace of her arms. 
My mornings have not been the same. 
I wake up and roll over to see the void in my mattress. 
This has become a bad habit and I still sleep with my hair wet.
The sound of loneliness has become a song I've grown sick of.
She doesn't know what she wants. 
I know I do not want any of her at this point. 
My body has grown accustomed to being bitter.
