    The speaker in the poem, is it a fish or someone fishing? I only ask because the poem starts with the speaker as a fish but at the end you say “I catch nothing”.

    You wear her on your skin.
    Her darkness overshadows your light.
    People recognize you as a pair,
    And you cannot bear to tell them that she broke your heart, but
    your neighbours know.
    When you come home with a grocery bag – no groceries; you’ll cry
    and curse her angelic name.
    You hate the music only
    because she taught you how to love dancing.
    You wear her on your skin.
    You’re unintentionally content with this being,
    You live in quiet chaos.

    your coffee has been standing
    for so long it has gone cold.
    you’re busy trying to explain
    why it is better this way.
    but all i hear is the sound of your voice
    how this will be the last time.
    we had to sit […]

    You. Are. Killing. Me.
    she yelled.
    she threw the mail in my face
    thick hard envelopes
    flew into my face like
    a quick gust of wind
    quick and harsh.
    she said i was doing myself in.
    that i was killing […]
