You're asleep
As I pace floors
Circling
Not needing the cliche to think
Because I know what I should say to you
You're asleep
Because you need your rest
And on a recovery bed from emotional scars left by yours truly,
Maybe that's justified.
I'm awake,
Because this mind doesn't rest
My skin doesn't scar
And my recovery bed is the pacing, as I recover from emotional scars left by yours truly.
Pacing
I've been thinking
About what you told me
I've been thinking about
how We have to talk about the thing
That happened when we were new and didnt know consequence
When recovery beds were not needed and even scorned
And you have to realize I'm trying to comply with your tell-all policy
And I hate to nag you
And you know I'm not this person who drags back up
A warning flare burning for yesterday
So I'm sorry; you're welcome.
I've been thinking about how my accidental mistake brought iron fist repercussions and threats
And now when you have a cold-thought fault I have presented you not with rebuke but apologies and
"Just make sure you're okay"
It hurts not to hurt
Skin that doesn't scar itches
And I choke on blood from internal bleeding where I've managed to lay my scars every time I open my mouth to say "I'm okay with it"
I'm not. Obviously.
