The hurt says, "I have been looking for you.”   and I was never one for truth but I give it to the hurt anyway “I can’t let you in because I’m not sure I would ever let you leave." The hurt gives options  "I own destruction or I own empty.” My heart beats but not because I want it too I pick destruction Then when I have destroyed everything around me The hurt says,“ I can give you anger, I can give you rage.” I think last time almost ruined me but I welcome the simmer all the same I am endless yet I never wanted to be The hurt is laughing now “You will break soon, you know you can’t keep me away forever.” I’ve known since the moment I saw you- darkening my doorway and stealing my blue skies keeping you away was never what I wanted Weeks move into months The hurt is calm  “It is time for me to come back” I look at the hurt thinking , "Yes. I have kept you waiting long enough” Let's survive this together - grief is going to eat me alive
