I thought I escaped you.

I said I did.

Yet here you are.

When I looked at you again,

I saw what we once had,

that one fleeting moment.

I couldn't escape it,

not even in my dreams,

haunting me for eternity.

You awakened my buried feelings,

resurfacing them to be open to your hurtful words again.

Words?

The ones I thought I was numb too.

I said was.

Yet I still feel their harsh bite.

Your devasting last words still cut me

like a sharp razor blade,

tearing deep into my flesh. 

Until I bleed.

Bleed.

Bleed.

Bleed.

Only death will rescue me.
