How do I ask you not to leave me by myself when you’re battling demons of your own? I’m a danger to myself, I’m terrified to be left with this hole in my chest and my pulsing veins waiting to be ripped into. Relief lies in the blood waiting to flow up and above the surface of my skin. Don’t leave me by myself, the moon isn’t shining bright enough tonight to let me know I’m not alone. I understand time heals everything, but does time wash away the addiction when I’m lying in bed straining myself, trying to stop the sensation. Yelling all my secrets into my pillow, hoping they’ll shout back. How do I stop snapping my rubber bands against my wrist while counting down the stops on the train ‘til I get home. Don’t leave me by myself, only you can be my full moon for tonight. But just for tonight.
