there are people and things
that take the pain away.
who tell you you're pretty
and kiss your lips until you believe.
who don't keep quiet when they see
your treasure map wrists.
who talk until 2 in the morning
when you need a distraction.
but even the most beautiful
stories have a last page,
and the ones who fixed the pain
become the ones who cause it.
