PERSONAL HARM
in these few words i bind a durable promise,
one that will never be untied the way we
have become for i must promise myself better.
i hereby put the idea of you in quotations – “habibi”
- to make that notion hollow and rumored,
for i shall evermore recognize that i outgrew you.
and you can never know, make or change my mind.
you were a sin from the start, a sin i committed against my worth. read it again.
