like a severed finger you’ve been reattached
but still don’t quite work the same

and in effort to relive the moments where you did
i find myself grasping for straws
predestined to always draw the short one

i go over moments that lead to where we are now
how i could have done things differently
how i could have kept the knife from slicing all the way through
