Sometimes I wonder when the hurt will go away. And I wonder if it'll slip away like the last breath from a dying body, or if it will rush away, cowardice forcing its speed to increase as it sprints ahead- away forever.

I wonder if maybe,
                                   the hurt doesn't actually
exist.

But all it takes to sever your hope
is one eyeful of Hell;
the catching whim of destruction
and demolition,
embedded in that one particular glare
from someone who was meant to love you

to remind you that hope was the non-existence, the ghost,
and that hurt

(that kept you awake into the AM)

was always there in the darkest moments of your short pathetic life.
