Under My Skin
April 25, 2012
It hurts to be happy.
Letting go of your pain
Is like plucking
Shards of glass
From my skin.
Knowing it has to be done,
But wondering;
Would it be easier to
Leave them there?
Bury your pain
In scar tissue?
To let myself
Drag my fingertips
Over your hurt,
Pretending I can still
Take it away?
