it is what it is
so leave it alone
fate has no reason to occupy this space any longer
she was lost from the beginning anyway
forced destiny doesn't make it be
just makes you a fool with good intentions
and i did
and i was

line insides with cellophane wrappings
to keep it unspoiled
though shelf life is 16yrs and a day past expiration
and its getting funky up in here

open up a window
tear down a door
cut a hole in the foundation
should be easy
wood rot is evident
from years of unseen tears
falling into cracks unnoticed
and untreated

catch a glass or two
through the floorboards
keep it on the nightstand
when thirsty for bitterness
or at least a reminder
of why those wings
hanging from the closet door
will fit real nicely soon

but you got to grow into them girl
the right way
