POEM

The Only One

you're the only one.

The only one that gets it
Understands
Everything I go through.
The pain.
It surges through my entire body.
Every bone and every muscle.
Every inch.
And the endless nights of crying.
Tears trickling out of my eyes
And for no reason.
Well except for everything that has happened in the past.
And my image.
I hate it.
I want to burn it.
Take a match to my face.
I've tried.
It didn't rly work out.

I've always loved knifes and fire.
They make me happy
They let me know that if I ever want to end everything
I can count on them to do it for me.

You are the same way.
We love the things that can kill us.
You're the only one.
The only one that understands all of it.
But the worst part is I can't talk to you about it.
Even though we are so alike,
You don't know.
Because I haven't told you
That you are the only one.
