Under My Fingers
Janet Kuypers
(01/24;/12)
I know I trusted you
with all my secrets
and I know
you’d never betray me
but I’m sorry
I grew tired
of feeling you
under my fingers
you were rough
I knew that
maybe that’s because
you were my sounding board
you were the only one
that was always there for me
when I was
at my lowest
but you see, I shared
all my secrets with you
because I wanted
to bury those memories
so I hope
you understand
why I had to
let you go
