I Try And Fail
by Eden of @the.autisticats i try and fail to contain these words words not easily contained they reach out they strike her across the cheek and i reach for them, i reach for her i try and fail to pull her up off the floor to separate my tangled words from her hair where they got stuck and inched their way around her neck i try and fail to apologize to explain what the mess all means it’s not enough i try and fail to separate myself from the source of the words but she knows they are mine and i do too so she takes out her scissors and cuts off her hair leaving my words with no place to tangle and no place to call their own i try and fail to remedy what cannot be fixed i dress her scars in gauze and i wonder why i didn’t do this sooner if the monster inside regrets a thing and if it died whether anyone would dare come closer
