The Truth


you can’t deny what happened to me
                                    what I witnessed
every night      after the bars closed               you can’t
act like I didn’t hear you begging for the end of it all
to be killed once and for all
you can’t ignore what I haven’t been able to ignore
what still clutters our relationship

(
the motherless child of a motherless child
                                                                                    )

rippling sheet of white emotions
that hovers between us
guilt and regret
of bitterness and dry tears

the anger I haven’t been able to shed
                                                your anger
what a man will do to a woman if she lets him.
