Your touch
A powerful venom
Everyplace your fingers touch
A trail of rotting flesh follows
There's no escaping you
No matter what I do
Talking, fixing, explaining, carrying, avoiding, ignoring
Nothing works
You always find a way back
As if I never learn
A rabid dog that found its home
Somehow, no matter the flaws
I'm put on a pedestal
A permanent spotlight
I'm left in charge of this life
You say you know me, but every time I have to tell you to stop
You say you know what's best for me, yet I have to force myself to agree with the decisions you make
You say you love me. but when I needed you the most you were nowhere to be found
I can't do this
Not anymore
Goodbye
***
Blood pumping, oxygen leaving
Knots forming, body taping
Blurry figures moving
How long you wonder
Darkness creeps in
Hope is fading
Peace is
Here
***
Yes and No
What do they mean
Words that held such
Power
Are now meaningless
I can't speak
Which somehow tells you
to go on
My silence is
Golden to you
neither a yes or a no
you keep your hands on me
Your hand go
Up and down
Following an unknown path
Your lips kiss my face
Stop
Go away
I feel disgusting
I'm paralyzed
I hate this
I hate you
I hate me
