I want to tell her everything.
I want her to experience my life
As it happens.
But there is so much pain
That she seems in me.
I tell her that
It's normal.
I'm used to it all.
And it hurts her,
I can tell.
I want to share everything with her.
But for me to share
My pain
My hurt
My heartache
My normal
She has to be in pain.
She must be hurt.
She must be heartbroken.
And I refuse to allow all of that
To be her normal
Alongside mine.
I hope she won't hate me
For shielding her from this.
I can't let her get hurt.
I can't.
I love her.
I want her to become
My new normal.
