body

all these years you've treated your body as a way in

a way to feel things and receiving things.

you craved the feeling of touch

and cold pills

a simple text and suddenly it's not him who's using you

you're using yourself

letting yourself be abused over and over in order to feel something

you wanted so much more without ever even knowing of it

perhaps you just longed for comfort

all you got in exchange were sore knees and a scratchy throat

nobody can hear your cries in the night

Author's Note

these dont transition well, but its mostly just thoughts I had, that i will fix up later

Such a profound thought that as we allow others to 'use' us we are in fact using ourselves. Just wow!

Reality is the breath of a tailpipe...not a fairy-tale kiss....truth makes for a beautiful poem, so this is!:)
