I Had Enough of That for One Weekend

I fell limp in your arms

and retreated to the bedroom.

 

I curled up in bed and 

wrapped myself in blankets.

 

Sometimes it's better 

not to leave the house.

 

At least then no one 

can hurt me or reject me.

 

I had enough of that 

for one weekend. 

 

Then I let the tears flow

and the despair envelop me.

 

I wanted the pain to end,

and I only saw one way out.

 

And the thoughts grew

darker and darker for hours.

 

How I would do it

that would hurt the least. 

 

I had enough of that 

for one weekend.
