Not Me Anymore

~
Overwhelmed with things to say
Drowning in hurt
Would it be too much to ask for you to love me?
Too much to ask for you to not do this right now?
Talk to me.
Ask permission.
Tell me I'm beautiful.
Anything but this...
Don't let me wonder if it's only a dream.
And don't let me shudder from the cold.
And your touch.
Which are you?
It doesn't matter.
The hurt is still the same.
Come back for a second time?
Loving it much more.
Deeper you stab me.
And I pretend it's okay.
