Cringe

Holly Day


cringe. draw away from me out of me
exfoliate promises cauterize dreams
I know you, silent in the darkened hall,
armor stripped and revealed to be foil.
and I still need.

run. pull yourself off of me out of me
expatriate already, watching me sleep I am
awake, liar, I know where you're going leaving
plane train ticket waiting for you in another
girl's hands just leave now don't leave.
and I still dream.
