Vile

I'm so sorry I'm such a bother, I'm so sorry I can't seem to put my thoughts in order. I'm so so so tired, my body trembles and sways with each step, with each painful breath.

I'm scared, I'm insecure, I feel about to explode. I'm so annoying! Such a burden it is to have a partner like me! I should disappear once they give up on me. I know you wouldn't, why do you torture yourself ?

You're exhausted, how wouldn't you be? I drain people's energy little by little, like a hidden virus that slowly but surely makes you sick. My uneven breathing pesters my own ears, stop crying! Stop whining! How dumb can you be?

  The more you asked the more scared I felt. When your frustration slipped through your tone I knew, I knew you had had enough. I let you go with the promise I will rest, but I won't because this broken soul is useless. I have been for a while, and I try to hide it with a gentle smile. Oh, my smile. You'll never find anything so vile!
