flattened
like flowers between
the pages
of a heavy book
on your dusty shelf
you press me down
perserve me
your weight on top of me
smoothing me out
holding me here
as I try to float
out the door
you collapse on me
you feel me worming
squirming
pushing to that grey edge
pushing myself nearly over
twisted like leaves
caught in an updraft
you flatten my world
your eyes
pin me to these pages
to these sheets
my fluids on your fingers
I am drying up
my soul blows no more
I am pinned
our hair twisted
I buried my heart
beside my wounded knees
you watched on
and hated me
I won't stop loving you
even when you toss the book out
when you tear up the petals
when you spit my name out in a curse
I will love you
and flatten myself agianst the wall
to hide nameless evermore
