breaking eve in
draft 1. can't edit yet.
it's all about breaking even
what's mine is mine, and yours stays yours
what we got together
well, we'll have to break
and split
in tiny piles in a dirty hallway
lit up by lights your father installed
for us
when we moved in
i carry my things to the u-haul
you scream at me
i return to get the wine i bought for your birthday
(you drank the wine you bought me for mine)
you grab my
fingers spread wide
palms to my chest
squeezing tight
catching my breath
in gasps and fury
begging you to love me softer
instead of trying to break eve in.
