That cover up there is for a trio of similar poems from this collection called Words Like Knives. I posted the three together on another writing site. You'll be able to tell which ones are in the trio because they will have this cover in the thingy up there. :P

Names.

Oh, the horrible names

That she said.

Tears.

Oh, the pitiable tears

That I shed.

The ways.

Oh, the absurd ways,

She upset me.

Why?

Oh, why couldn't she

Just let me be?

Held it in,

All day long.

Got home,

And oh,

How I weeped.

And then she moved,

Left me delighted,

But oh,

There're nightmares when I sleep.

She left me scarred,

With doubt of my confidence.

Why did she do it?

It doesn't make sense.

I tried to smile,

I tried to hide

I tried to ignore,

The pain inside.

But no.

Oh, dear, no.

It wont leave,

The doubt,

The fear,

The hesitation,

The cowardice.

It won't leave.
