.

i apologize for sending you
the news how i did,
in a box
with your name
harshly scribbled on it,
separating our things.

we were fools to think it would work
we were fools to play grown up

i implore you to consider why
and how
and when
these occurrences defined
our mortal sins.
yours in lacking respect for me
and mine in lacking love for
my body.

we are both corrupt.
