Crease

I'm driving 15 mph under the speed limit and
little tears are slowly tiptoeing into the little creases of my eye and
the old familiar anthems fade in like static.

I swipe under my eyes and stare straight ahead, creasing my forehead.
determination is etched into my face.

But I guess my heart doesn't get the message.
My heart mourns.
It mourns for the loss of that
incalculable twinkle
that was lost the moment
I finally saw.

But I can't see anymore because tears
start to blur against the dark and the headlights.

"Nobody will love you. Too fat, too tall, too annoying."


… I guess I got reception.

"Nobody will love you."
"Nobody."
