I understand that you are upset
but please do not be selfish
because each word you do not say stabs me

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH IT HURTS

you must not

your clouds of angst
don't obscure just yourself
they tear me apart
limb from limb

they make me cry
in the shower
with the hot water
hitting my heart
over and over
and over
again

they make me lose my mind
attach my phone to my hand
look at the screen each second
dare i miss a flicker

you have the responsibility of two lives now
and yet you are not acting responsible
at all
