Tree Sparrow

I am not the girl you loved.
She has taken
terminal to illness
gone to the sickness you exposed.
No I am not the one you've come for.
I am the bitch who took her place.
Who took your heart
and knew it would hurt
but did it anyway.
No. I am the iceworm.
white and pale.
with blood dark blue and pulsing.
under skin that was always too thin.
