I do not bruise, and never have
Yet the pain is always there
Like bacteria on my skin
Part of me, disgustingly natural
Overrun, even, parasitic
Entirely accepted
Like this agony

It is agony, heartache
Do you see me? Do you?
It has been a long time since
I last looked in a mirror
Perhaps I have aged
Which is disgustingly natural
Like this agony
It has been 6 hours since I have spoken.
It has been 8 hours since I was last alone.
