Cherished [ex-boyfriend remix]

by Amy Vought Barker

she only laughed. dry and cool.

I overheard

in my bathroom

she smiles like shiny red polish

This is not a fashion statement; she is easily distracted

always uneven.

the type to disguise dried blood on her sixteenth birthday

even if the rest of her remains

a woman familiar with angry lines

From a distance a beloved friend

but

she changed

and left behind
