like

my eyes feel heavy like

they're weighing down my face

it was like the bags

under my eyes

were full to bursting

and my eyes

just resting there

like elephants

on water balloons

I've been so angry lately,

like I just want to hit you,

like I just want to rip you open

and squeeze the life out

drip by drip - 

But I can't.

And my fury turns inward.
