An illustration of myself,
a cartoon gal to keep it safe
for the masses.
I’ll use the pain as the outlet
for my humiliation-
because blushing is just
so much worse.

My head aching with fire,
I cannot let the image go.
You I cannot burn,
remove,
discard.
You, the picture of you
stuck in my eyes.
you’re getting tricky.
