It was Polk street. 
I said to her, what took me months to finally understand. 
These words made her mad, and left me breathless. 
She thought I was crazy, 
I felt a moment of clarity. 
She walked to the bar, and I hailed a cab. 
Words words words. 
I wanted all of Manhattan to know, it was finally happening. 
It wasn't beautiful. 
I had to witness the failure of another to see my strength. It frightened me to think I might not accept this, that I might have to learn this over again. 
The fair was short, but he took me to El Rio anyway. I ran home in three inch heels. 
 I am weak, I've shattered 
I need you 
I've never said these things. 
this is just the start.
