angst cycle (iii) — [ξ] (ii)

this cut
i think we’ve finally got there
this cut
is hard
but required

i’ll give you an example
she claims she accidentally mislead me
one time or two
perhaps
but for two fucking years
sod off

ok
it’s only
24 hours or so
so it’s not surprising
i’m hanging on the email
waiting for the note
that I damn well hope
won’t come

i’ve only been
licking that brim
for two sodding years
or so

that’s a lot
of anticipation
to cut
to erase

of addiction
