Containing Lost Pain

19th February, 1:15am

Being in love with you
 Is hurting all over my body.

 The daily scratches.
 Swift, sharp, switch marks,
 Tattle tale wounds.
 Raspy throaty noises
 Excuses for blue eyes
 and dark circles

 The Bleeding,
 It's draining.

 I live. Petrified.
 of the implosions within.

 My mind boggling
 As beat as the body.
 Dehydrated.
 From the lack of empathy
 You exhaust me.

 It's the last animal cry.
 I leave you.
 Please. Leave me.
