molly x 4










what happens when you times molly by four, (too many stories in my head)
Too many things unfurled
i told him my stories.

What happens when you split.  Or when what you thought was real splits.  

i did this thing with my sister on the phone this morning called "withhold" where she pretends to be him and I say all the things I withheld. and whenever I run out or break down she says "Thank-you. Now what have you withheld?" I went over and over. And sobbing sometimes, and sometimes nothing more to say. I learned something. as much as i feel like i can't say things quite right (because he never hears me, he never receives what i say, he says over and over to me, You're wrong --basically.  But I said it, I said things through.  I said what I had to say, and I realized something, that sometimes that's enough, and i'll never be able to make anyone get it.

It's the same panic-ed places.  the same dispair, the same not being able to hold falseness.  the false things he tried to give me.

I realized I don't have to figure it out.  I don't have to figure out how to express it just right.  And I don't have to express it.
