Chapter 7 - 7| Bleeding and Hurting

Bleeding and Hurting

My bruises hurt most

every time I remember

all my failed relationships;

and my wounds bleed most

whenever all the fights

and good times with them

replay on my mind.

Maybe the hurting and bleeding

are made for me to realize

that I loved

those people-who-left more,

that I didn't notice that

I'm loving myself less.

—My wounds and bruises are my reminder that I have to save myself next time.
