Hurt so Good

Can't write- words won't come.

Why did I leave? Why can't I go?

Where?

 

Can't quit- brain won't stop.

I gave it up. I ****** it up.

Why?

 

Just leave- go away now.

It was too good. Just wasn't too real.

What?

 

Don't know- can't describe it.

Just a feeling. It hurts so good.

How?

 

Like pins- sharp, tiny ones.

Poking here, there. Pricking everywhere.

Oh.
