Disease

She stood,
Teary eyed, and pained
As she asked me that question
That I didn't know how to answer...
"How can you do that to yourself--
How can you mutilate.."
She stopped there
As if she could no longer speak
And when she said that word..
That dirty word..
It sounded like a disease
Like I had a disease
She made me feel sick
but I don't know how to explain
And I don't know how to talk anymore
No matter how small my words are
Or how slow I talk
Or how precisely I explain it
She'll never get it
And I don't think
She wants to.

this has a more pyschological impact than most cutting poems and for that you get a cookie...just kidding. It's a serious issue like most without clear ut resolve...you turned it into an effective and contemplative write...kudos

this really touches me in a way i cannot articulate. having someone look at you like you are some sort of monster because of a way that you deal with pain. ::sigh:: beautiful touching work. *~`burned`~*

So much people demand answers they don't really want to hear, so they just don't understand a word that's said. Nice write =)

*sighs* It's a hard thing, having a question spit at you like it's a curse, the person begging for you to explain it to them so they might better understand. Damn, do I know this. ~*Beth*~
