Pain Is What I Have No Patience For

I have no patience for pain,
the kind that sneaks in disguised as love,
whispers in sweet tones
but stings like betrayal.

I’ve danced with sorrow too many times,
held it close enough
to feel its sharp teeth.

So I’ll leave before the bruises form,
before the apologies start—
because darling, I’m tired
of hurting in your name.
