"Bitterness"

Folder: 
For All My Exes

Let me impregnate you with

  the fears I possess.

Maybe then you'll know what it feels like,

  this helpless, hopeless

terror of oh-no-what-have-I-done.

Maybe you'll understand what it's

  like to cry.

Cry for no other reason than

  that you need to.

I hope these feelings fester

  in the womb of your soul

  and eat away at you day and night,

  night and day,

  and give you no reprieve,

No release,



because I want you to know

the feeling of giving birth to pain,

and then forcing yourself

to love it and cherish it

and keep it with you always,

  even though you hate it.

Maybe then you'll understand

  my bitterness.
