Pain and Other Obsessions

[johnjgeddes]

I obsess over endings,
Empty passions—
Nightly reverberations.

Rain is my inside
Turned out—

And pain the surface
Of my skin.

Sometimes at night
I roll over
And look for you—

Then remember—

You’re locked
In my dreams,
Safe,
Where no one
Can hurt you.

But you hurt me, Love—

I forgave you my scars
Bandaged wounds,
Forgot the past..

But you hurt me, Love,
And it’s so damn hard
To forget that.
