Her name burns like dry ice.
It scalds my heart and makes my whole body freeze up.
It makes me want to run away and never stop.
It makes me want to scream at the top of my lungs.
It makes me want to never talk to you again.
It makes my eyes well up and my fists clench.
It digs into my skin like fingernails,
Just knowing about the scratches she leaves on your back.
I stare at the ceiling and try not to wonder, trying not to care,
All the while wondering if you ever think of me
While she is in your bed.
