After some time, You know that They don't They can't Understand   That scars like these... They don't go away They don't fade They come knocking At midnight to tell you About how they've Festered for so long Even after, you talk them out Resolve them, lay them to sleep They revisit you, dragging you back To memories best forgotten Touches burnt on your skin Half-remembered words, Hateful, disgusted expressions Cheapened expressions That make your soul unclean Ordinary, everyday people Could never understand   Why you need to look away Fidget so much, the hidden Violence with which you **** back When someone touches Upon such sensitive issues Maybe you talk it over with them Once, perhaps, and then they think That it is gone, it is laid to rest But what they fail to realise Is that it comes back, creeping Crawling, taking you over again They'll turn away, disgusted Because they don't know the Impacts of long-term exposure To slow poisoning of heart, veins, lungs And they'll turn away Repulsed, disinterested When you come crying Begging for some help Some solitude Because you can never Make them feel   The pent-up emotions Over a decade The unseen scars These little things Have left you with They will not see The confusing mixed Messages being sent By those other people They will not understand That you're not looking For something you've Lost, right there, Sitting on the ground, Almost helplessly, On your knees In fact, you're looking For something That was never yours To have in the first place (*peace, solitude, no more loneliness, no more emptiness*) Something you have (never had) Permanently Lost

Slow Poisoning
