I’m used to being ignored by many
But when it’s you
It hurts different
It hurts in a way I can’t explain the pain
It’s not like a toothache or headache
And I can’t show you where it hurts
Because I’m not exactly sure
But this pain is a little more than I can endure
And I don’t know what drug will fix the effects of another drug
Cigarettes?
Weed?
Several bottles of tequila might numb me out for a while
Random sex might make me smile,
Temporarily
Maybe the pain is coming from all the things I’ve left unsaid
But how do I translate my feelings into words that you’d understand?
How do I translate my pain into words at all?
How do I show you where it hurts when I can only feel it?
How do I explain that you reopened a wound that never fully healed?
If you cannot see it
