January 17, 2023 - “Some of This We Said” by Elizabeth Lerman

In my dream last night, I was missing my ring finger. 

Oh?

Sometimes I think I’m scared of everything.

You need to relax.

I’d like someone to worry with.

Stop talking.

Is every moment meant to hurt this much? 

Try compartmentalizing.

What day did I decide to ruin myself for you? 

It was night. 

Right. What night? 

I don’t remember. 

Every time I see you, we start over.
