And the pot called the kettle broken

And the pot called the kettle broken

A Poem by Kaylee April

We barely speak.
but in this moment she knows me better than you do
silver sisters don't say the words 
but they know 
why you've hidden yourself in the bathroom

I've never heard my named called out so softly
haven't heard sincere words from
any other mouth but yours in years
i was starting to think that it was justified
to look right past my tears

you see the problem with us
is that you are just. like. me.
my blood is your blood
and it's easy to lack empathy for someone
who reminds you of yourself
and the comfort fades into complacency

we weave ourselves into circles
what i say just fuels your rage
and what you say: just drop it babe
but my chest aches for a solution
a band-aid for the bitterness

I just want to forgive 
but forgiving you feels too much
like forgiving myself
