If I could see you again I'd stick my fingers into your navel
to feel if your core was soft
or hard
or if you even had anything there at all
I'd hold your lungs in the center of my hands
to see if they were black purple blue
from all that cancer
I couldn't make you spit out

I want to see you again
To tell you,
"I hate your hair like that"
"I hate that you left me"
"I hate what you've become"
Then I'd take it back
and say something nice

You'd still borrow my perfume,
I think,
because from the ends of your hair to the tips of your shoes you smell like tobacco
and you don't want your mom to know that you've been killing yourself
You don't mind that I know
I won't scold you
out loud

I feel like you have no power in your life
And it's not my place to say, but,
I feel like you've tangled your talent into spider webs
and thrown them away
I feel like you've bitten off your nose
to spite your face
and I wish it wasn't true but
you deserve it
you deserve everything you get

If I could go back
I wouldn't
but I remember good things under big trees
and on windy days
and in the smell of paint
as selfish girls behind me cackle loud
like thirsty crows
Even if he say this, he wouldn't understand it. Or maybe he would and then get angry that he did.
