Hurt me
if it'll make the pain lighter.
Make me understand
what it means to be a fighter.
-
Stab me
if it's easier when we're two,
Melting into tears,
instead of just you.
-
Twist me
if your jealousy tugs
through your glazed eyes
and feigned shrugs.
-
Cut me
if it will help soften
to not be the only one
battling the coffin.
-
Tear me
when I don't understand
your invincible pain
and then judge you at hand.
-
Rip me
if it will ease the grief.
because I know it is silent,
yet, damage-ridden as a thief.
-
Kill me
out of irony of seeing
a life that consists of
simply being.
-
Just know that my heart, too
has patched pores.
And believe that one day
G-d will heal yours.
