Beyond Our Remedy



I was too blind to see.
Even through my crystal clear glasses.
I ignored the ruby colored flags.
I ignored the way my blood dripped down from my hands.
I looked away from your body as it was covered in my blood.
I turned away when we both drew blood.
But I always knew that my wounds were deeper than yours.
Everything screamed at me to walk away.
But I couldn’t.
I so desperately craved the attention you gave me.
A drug like no other.
I was addicted to your sugar-coated lies.
So, I’ll continue hating myself because of you.
Don’t you love having that power over me?
