Keep away from me!

The tears from You
sting my eyes
more than any others,

because they’re so
dry
for so long.

The pain of all the
shit she put
me through, of all the
blood she made me
see, of all the
booze she made me
sweat and all the
tears she made me
need.
It returns. The pain returns.
I didn’t deserve it the first time.

I can’t take a reminder now.
Not now.
