I'm never 'the one who got away,'
nor am I a fish in the sea worth catching.
I'm another lover unloved, so many
scars on my skin from being betrayed,
from unsent letters screaming at me with papercuts,
from the weapon of unspoken words aimed at my own heart.
I'm never the one who got away because
I never stepped forward in the first place.
