TheDemiDevil

You put your hand on my shoulder.

You tell me everything will be okay.

You explain what has happened, as if I don’t know. As if I am a child, too young to understand what you have done.

Hallucination, breathe in,

Punishment, breathe out.
Driving far, breathe in,

Left alone, breathe out.
Scars and bruises, breathe in,

Bandages, breathe out.
Two needles, breathe in,

One dead, breathe out.

You love me.
It is not a question, but a statement. A fact.

You may wonder how I know.
I see it in your eyes. In your smile.

The way my laugh makes you happy.
How my time is valuable to you.
