Night & Day

part twenty (night)

Their whispers

are getting louder

like there are someone

turning up the volume

of their please

just to scare me

more

they are pulling me

like I am r u b b e r b a n d

I have

already

done a lot

of what

they asked

me to do

they said

you didn't

love me

anymore

so I

pushed you away

in fear that you would hate me
