There is no way to know if
My trauma and yours
Are in any way
ComparableI promise
You do not know
My nightmares of
Seeing the brain of
A first love
Stop looking like a brain
After it has explodedI promise
I could not know
Any of the pain you have seen
Whether from your father or
Best friend or
Some random man in a parking lotWhile you assume
What you have been through
Should get to dictate
Anyone else's response to pain
I promise
You could never know
