The Past

Don’t hurt me again.

Words unspoken
but whispered
through curled lashes
blinked from silent tears

Don’t hurt me again.

Words swallowed
in suffocation
of hovering darkness
lingering in thick breath

Don’t hurt me again.

Words hidden
behind truth
within promises of forgiveness
tangled in uncertain fear

Love me still.
