i become
a monster
enraged
projecting
reminded

my pain
an axe
guts
heart
soul

you laugh
silly girl
never
always
only

i smile
i know
same
pain
between

but still
i shrink
shying
hiding
plummeting

dear girl
you ask
who
when
never

and tears
fearful always
alert
guarded
wise

don't woman
it hurts
seeing
feeling
knowing

it's noise
it's static
eyes
heart
hand

i smile
he is
only
mine
ever
