the rhinoceros

it’s mine, i know
i should never have thought
that this time would be any
different

it’s not your fault!
it’s not!
stop thinking that!
it’s not!
i’m trying not to
yell but my mind is
swimming here
in thoughts!

how could i have missed
these words;
emotions slipping
past my frugal brain
i should have
would have
could have stopped
and danced beneath the train

i never hated you
don’t put words in my mouth
they taste disgusting
especially when the words
would never
cross across my lips

these words that
eat your soul away
they don’t belong there
get rid of them
please
it’s eating me, now, too
it’s chewing through my soul
i never meant for us to dig
so deep into a hole
