Cuts feel like hugs

by Pluck

My friend caught me laughing whilst crying. He said "umm are you going insane?" "Dear friend, have a seat. Let me tell you this funny thing about pain. When you're hurting your senses swirl And sooner than later everything sounds the same. Like, "I love You" sounds just like "There's someone else." The roses they bring you are bewitching, but lean in and a stranger's scent is all you'll smell. I mean, yes they'll carress you like it's the first time, but your replacement is all you'll feel. Confusion will paint illusions, soon all happy sights your mind is refusing & you can't see what's real. & taste? Dear friend, The ultimate bitter is taste. It's like collapsing & dropping your time casserole; all you can do is stare down, what a waste. So I know you're confused as you stare at my bright smile as my eyes are running. But to be honest with you, I'm puzzled, I can't quite decipher if it hurts or its funny." We're all one heartbreak away from insanity.
