Do you remember
when I befriended you?
Do you remember
when we were a team,
unbreakable, unstoppable?
Do you remember
when I loved you enough to
share my poetry?

And then you tore my heart open
stole my words
with my breath

and left me there.

Now I'm shattered.
I'm broken inside,
and my shards
still pierce me
still **** me
until I dream of death
every night?

I'm a ruin.
I dream of
death, destruction,
suicide.
My very mind is
under pressure.

Someday I might not
wake up.

But you won't be there.
