The small things remind me of you

And when they do

I want to rip my skin off

I want to hit myself

I want to scream to the point my throat is raw

And I would rather not heal than to feel those things

So I’ll distract and occupy myself in other spaces

So I won’t notice the small things that remind me of you

This poem is about the struggle of dealing with the absence from someone who betrayed you.
