tupperware
This poem is a mess and I am very sorry.
My hands shook
The day I went to open up
The cabinet underneath the sink
In the basement at your place
You never let me down there
And even when you did
Under close supervision
The cabinet seemed out of place
And then there I was
In the dark of the night
Making mistakes and mistakes
That I now bring to light
I admit to my failures
And I show you these truths
I offer you a chance
At redemption that you never had
But you always wanted
I offer you a chance
At going again
To the place where the world ends
I warn you step back
But you don't and you're falling
The water's cement
And it's rushing to meet you
And now is when I admit it
I opened up that cabinet
In your basement
And underneath laundry detergent and windex
I found the tupperware
Like any other meal
On any other day
But this was awful
And awful again
The bones were gnawed away
And where the meat clung on
I could see
Blood spilling from arteries
And veins
I saw the heart, thinly connected
To each of the pieces
With veins thin as thread
And I saw it beating
Through the tupperware lid
And I screamed and I cried
And though I might have tried
I couldn't remember why l loved you
Because I knew this was me
I remembered these bruises
I remembered your hands
Harsh as the knife you held
And I remember giving you my heart
The one in the tupperware
Netted to the rest of me
By veins in vain
Trying to keep me together
You've torn me apart
I hope that you know that
I hope that this turns out to be
Your confession
Instead of mine
