i cant look at myself

i cant look at myself

every time i see myself, i think of you

and how you felt

in those purple fairy lights

at 1am.

 

i cant look at myself

because im constantly reminded

of every touch

every moan, each shiver

last night.

 

i cant look at myself

my eye keeps trailing off

to the hickey on my chest

the purple bruise

it marks me.

 

i cant look at myself

because my stomach hurts

when i think of you

im so sorry

i was selfish.
