dear pain, this is for you

Stop looking at me

Your eyes are shriveling up .

They are crawling out of their sockets and fueling my insecurity.

They are scraping up my stomach and then twisting it inside out.


Stop talking to me

Your mouth is full of weapons 

Intoxicating me at first but then using my weaknesses against me

Words of fraud wisdom that cut me up into small pieces

They stabbed at my brain until I was a mess of tears and dysfunctional hormones 

Taking me away from sanity and leaving only black mascara smears upon my pillow


Stop touching me

Your hands have claws 

Gripping into me and holding me so that I could never get too far without them digging deeper and deeper

You made me bleed until I couldn’t see anything but red


Stop looking for me

I am out of your reach, rising above you into the bright blue sky

Life of hate and darkness never did you well

Your blind to the sun and it’s golden rays

You will never see me fall again
