Article & Art by Ellie Gober
I was trying to tell a story, but I got lost somewhere.
I do not even remember when or where I wrote it down
“it” being that I loved you.
Mistake mistake
a hurting mind,
coiling in on itself.
Don’t call me a lady! it’s not my place.
Who says so?
An assumption
dangerous, oh so dangerous
these small teeth
biting into others
(assumptions are quiet at first)
keep your voice down!
the room is too warm
too warm
too warm
too cold
too much?
Never.
Why not it is
IT IS.
it is life,
i can't argue with that.
Can you?
No? Well then…
Come in, dear, welcome to the
Heartbreak Hotel.
