Take Me Home (Original Poems)

You Say You Love Me - Poem 61

Keep your wrists clean.

It's not that hard, they said.

But everytime I see red,

It brings me back.

Though, no one knows.

That is what keeps me afloat.

Don't be shocked at the scars all over my body.

They are only from the ones that say they love me.

But if they loved me,

Why would I feel this darkness that engulfs me?

I have become too familiar with the shadows and demons in my head.

But don't worry,

Because you love me,

That's what you keep telling me.
