today i felt it slipping over me
at first a light gauze and then
a burgeoning cloud outside my window
i started growing heavy and i realized
i had done it
i'd given it all away
all my love my time my energy
squandered it; broadcasted it
deaf ears
pennies down the well
someone told me once
you'd be hurt to realize how little others think of you
neither good nor bad a stark indifference
so i can't help but sink
press a closed fist against my thigh
squeeze my eyes shut and bear it
my heart
my heart
my heart
