***BIO*** Aleathia Drehmer started writing as a way to cope with the loneliness of revolving door friendships, the constant change of scenery, and the lack of strong influence from anything.  Her work has previously appeared in Zygote in my Coffee, Cerebral Catalyst, Lunatic Chameleon, and Haggard and Halloo. She presently lives in Upstate NY and spends her time equally between writing, being a mother, and an emergency room nurse.

Unintended
by Aleathia Drehmer
My eyes have a hard time
looking at your face,
it reminds me
of this struggle
to find a place
between us
that does not push
me over the edge.

I have never been
good at separating
emotion from logic,
they run over
each other,
wet paints on canvas
smearing and bleeding
into something
lethally poisonous
and unintended.
