No Witnesses

If no one saw

But us two

Then who is to say

It happened

If we promise

Never to tell

Then no one else

Need be saddened

#20 The Self Harmer

It’s the feel

The sizzle

The smell

The burn

The sweet release of everything

And owing nothing in return

It’s only when you lie

I find

That my pain goes away

But when you tell the truth

I find

I don’t know what to say

Don’t worry,
I’ll stay
behind
the curtain.

So you don’t
have to see,
the damage
you’ve done.

It’s
not
only
my
heart
that
bleeds

As
you
take
care
of
your
own
needs

I buried
you a
long time
ago

Along
with
my self
esteem
