What would you say to the part of you that hurts the most?
overflow
why do you keep reaching before I understand why?
why do you act like nothing has changed, when everything has?
you don't even pause anymore before you give
you move first, like you're afraid silence will take your place.
why do you keep forgetting what happens after you care too much?
why do you act surprised when it turns into something that hurts you?
I keep watching you do it again.
and I never know if I'm supposed to stop you, or just follow.
