AND I USE YOU AS

A WARNING SIGN

THAT IF YOU TALK ENOUGH

SENSE THEN 

YOU'LL LOSE YOUR MIND. 

.

i don't know how much

i have slept

all i know is

i

am

tired. 

i don't check to see if

anyone is beside me

the blinds are shut

and i don't bother to think about

what time of day

it

is. 

liam is the second best

friend i had ever

HAD.

why is he against me now? 

i turn on the shower

and step in

after i shed my clothes. 

i

feel

so

numb.

swallow the pills

swallow the pills

pretty haley

swallow the pills. 

i want to scream

but i let the scalding water burn

the insecurity off of my skin.

(it

does

not

work) 

i find myself thinking of louis. 

WHAT

THE

FUCK 

IS 

WRONG

i remember seeing 

him in that truck

and my first thought

was

he shouldn't be alone. 

and i feel myself curling inward.

i am diseased with feelings

that i shouldn't have. 

this part of my journey was unplanned

and i made myself

V U L N E R A B L E. 

worse things have happened, 

but why does this make my

skin crawl and my legs shake?

why is max always on my mind now,

it's as if my mind has become a shrine to her

and my emotions pour out of me

like water from a fountain. 

love is poison

yet 

love is so 

k i n d. 

i slide down the shower wall into the tub. 

n

u

m

b. 

he is it. 

he is the

d e a t h 

i have been begging  for

y e t 

i do not wish to meet. 

at least, 

not now.
