• Pain
    to the
    head. A rush
    of blood. A scream
    is rattling in your ears.
    You feel the blood fall down
    your arm. As the knife digs deeper.
    Yet the pain is inviting, as is sleep.

    The
    headache seems
    worse. Yet it
    doesn't bother you. Have
    you always lived with this
    pain? Or is it new? You
    say it makes you feel less empty.
    Is it true? Or is it another lie?

    You
    say it
    shouldn't matter to
    me. That I shouldn't
    care. But we both know
    it's a lie. After that you
    left. And it was then I realized
    that I was talking to myself.
