Sorry

“It’s your fault”

“Stop getting involved”

“You’re a bad friend”

My tear stained cheek hits the pillow

And the night is so silent,

It seems as though even sound has given up.

Guilt turns me into a shadow,

But theres pleasure in being a shadow.

Pretending that you don’t exist

To avoid acting like you do.

A tangible whisper of stars outside

Melancholily weep in the darkness with me.

“You ruin everything”

“No one cares about you”

“You deserve to suffer”

The rain in those moments brings me comfort,

As though the Earth is crying with me.

Silver tears pelting at me, I become broken glass.

Im swallowed in fog as I plead for it to

stop consuming me,

But the endless cloud replies:

“You deserve pain”

And I believe it.

So I open the green box of secrets

Under the bed

And stab myself with them,

Five times:

One

Two

Three

Four

Five.

Until all I feel is

Endless pain.

Im sorry.

“I’m sorry”- a phrase that we all abuse too much, something that we don’t know is real or fake, like many things in life
