the man I always hurt

Where words of praise,

pierced the air you stayed

like bird songs,

on rare sunny days,

you were a storm cloud.


In shrouded deep-forest caves,

Filled with fairies,

and witchcraft,

and the thin veneer of childhood,

you were the boulder blocking my way.


In a wild symphonic cacophony,

where I was surronded,

comforted, 

by that blanket of sound


You were ever-present grey cloud

where the silver lining pressed into 

my throat.


You are the reason I 

get so attached,

like a leech.


You are the reason I 

can't stand people

yelling.


You are the reason I 

learned how to hide 

in plain sight,

for I was so 

so

scared

that you'd find me.


I know you love me.

And I'm sorry.

For never deserving it.
