I Have Only Myself to Give, Nothing More

Brown

Broken bottle

Grey

Oh god, my head

Purple

Eyes narrowed to angry splits

Red

Screaming profanities in my ear

Grey

Fist against lip

Brown

Fingers around throat, tighter, tighter

Red

“Damn faggot!”

Purple

Shattered glass

Red

“You shame! You’re a shame!”

Grey

Elbows break my fall

Purple

Stars—I see stars

Brown

Hello, Daddy

Black
