He grabs my hand
His touch is foreign
...
But not uncomfortable
Hannah thomas Nov 2019
I keep trying to find the right words to write to you
But it turns out the same every time

"I wish I had told you sooner
and I know you are not one for many words"

and then...

I stop..

Every time..
Not because I am at a lack of words
but because I know, to you,
it will make no difference
If you could see the words
pouring from my chest
it would make no difference
because you did not feel the same
and you did not understand
how deeply I was rooted
in a place that I knew
I could never stay in
and so what good does it do
to write to the one plucked me
just to watch me wilt
and never looked back

They look at me like a pariah
And maybe they're right
Maybe that is all I'll ever be

Maybe no matter where I go
Who I was will always follow
And maybe we never change

-Maybe that is all I'll be-

Don't you dare tell her
that you ever loved her
Don't you dare teach her
that that is what love looks like

How dare you teach her
to feel so small
How dare you teach her
to swallow her words

How dare you look at her bruises
and call them friendly reminders
How dare you teach her
that love can be violent

How dare you hold her heart
like it was made of thorns
How dare you leave her
like she was the poison

How dare you treat her
like she did not spend her nights
******* the venom
out of your veins

How dare you speak of her like dust
when she was the only one bold enough to love you.
I used to believe the things you told me, but I am no longer the little girl you disregarded.

I let them believe they know me
But I lie through my teeth
Feed them what they want to hear
To keep them at arm's length
To keep them in smoother waters
To keep them far from the ugly
Because it is far more dangerous
Beneath the surface

And they have never been good swimmers

Break me apart
Split open my sides
Let me bleed every reason
For me to give you
One more chance
You do not deserve

But I will give it to you anyway
Because what is one more
Crack in the glass
What is one more
Stitch in my heart
What is one more scar
To last me a lifetime

What is one more memory
To break me at the thought of you
You have already burned your smile
Into every brainwave
So that every time I hear another boy's laugh
I can’t help but hear your voice
Like a sweet melody in my ear
I can’t help but picture
Your smile on their faces

So what is one more
Heartache in the long run
What is one more chance
When in the end
It always comes back to you

When They asked me
Who hurt me
I almost said your name
I almost cursed at the top of my lungs
The day we ever met
I almost broke every plate
In the kitchen
I almost cried another ocean
To drown out your memory
But I didn't...

I simply said myself

Because who lets someone stay
After setting fire to the bedroom
After leaving the ***** laundry
All of all their past lovers
on the bathroom floor
After leaving bloodstains on the carpet
Because who lets someone break them
over and over again

How can I blame him
When I could have walked away
at any time
My dear if I could hate you, I would.
