You never ate.
You just sat there with your drink.
Often it was iced tea, later it would be black coffee.
But you never ate.
your arms were quite skinny,
And red scars.
New scars.
Old scares.
And it hurt me to see
How you hurt yourself.
I ask
"Is it for the pain? Or does it numb you?"
But I did not ask why you did it.
you looked at me,
With a hint in your eyes.
Like you thought it was funny,
And you talked.
Said one word.
"Both"
And all I did was nodding, when I just want to hold you and ask you to stop.
I did not really understand,
But I tried, to make you happy.
And that was better
Than not trying...
Right?
