Are you my punishment?
Nice to meet you
I don't mind the pain in my arms
But I'm trying to cut down
So would you mind just tearing at my heartstrings instead?
I recommend really hurting me like that
Let my mind wander
I can do the rest myself
Can I get you anything?
I'll do anything you want while you're here
I'll do anything for you
Of course
Sorry, I can't believe I forgot
You're here to punish me
Better not get too close
Wouldn't want me to start enjoying your company
So what is it you do?
Oh, the usual
No, it's OK
No please don't worry, it will still hurt
After all this time
After all the others
I'm still not used to it
I know I should be
But it still hurts
Oh well
I bet this will be the one that doesn't end
I bet this will be the one that kills me
Oh well
it was nice knowing you
I'm glad I had the chance to include you in my life
Of course I wish it had turned out differently
But that's OK
I'll get used to it some day
Bye then
See you next time.

Wow, that was very good. I think that it's a very good metaphor for the way that i've been feeling recently. Thankyou for giving me 30 seconds of understanding. :)

Thanks very much to both of you guys, I'm so glad you liked the poem :)
And to Joseph inparticular, thank you for your comment, I hope you know you're not the only one who feels like that, and there is more than 30 seconds of understanding left in the world today :)
Thanks again guys xx
