They singe me when you’re with her
Scalding my cheeks with their moist embers
Lacking spark and distinguishing rouge
They drown me…
… unknowingly to everyone else
They engulf me when you’re with her
Satcheled, tethered, and sinking deep
Their weight hindering my breath
They mock me…
… unknowingly to everyone else
They break me when you’re with her
Shredding with masochistic undertones
Reminders of a shattered heart
They kill me…
…unknowingly to everyone else-

because I only cry when I’m alone.
