We Couldn't Move

There was a switch in his step

like he was falling with every breath

and his fingers dug into my denim


they were sore from that time

he tried to butcher us with

with infidelity and dysmorphia


He didn't know then,

that we'd died, long before

his worst fears


Our pillows were stripped

and laid with us

Our blood drowned in the sheets,

the kind of red that could

have put better men in their place
