Wrong Size

Poem about being in an unfit relationship

My skin
screams to be torn off

My body
tired of your abuse

Our hearts
beat on separate stars

Your winter breath
Lips of ice
evoke goose pimples to the core

Wired-shut teeth
scream
Wild fire in my throat approach
and subsides

Again blue flames appear
Sound seeps
through your eyes
black night

Stop, how?

We don't wear the same size
shoes...
