What will become of me if i forget what you have done? 

Who am i if not a hastily bundled cluster of responses 

Of reactions to the circumstances pierced into my identity like a dagger to the flesh Leaving a gaping wound no surgery could ever removed 

Scars littered across the very make of my being 

Forever emphasizing my damage 

Without my wounds, who am i? If i could let them fade, 

I’m not sure i would 

Your words etched into my skull 

Your hands ghosting my skin 

Lingering wisps of emotions i once held dear 

I hate you i love you i love you i hate you crackling through my mind as though they were sparks on an open fire 

No one told me hate and love could feel so similar 

Inseperable from the identity i built 

From the girl you burned 

Of course i am unable to let it go 

For fear i may be letting go of myself.
