the smile
i give you is just
a fractured piece
of my self inflicted
pain.

my heart;
it crumbles
under your touch.
let go now,
let go.

and i am bitter.

you know the contours
of my mind,
like a blind man
knows braille.

you say goodnight.

and i feel
the darkness closing in,
i am stuck.
you shroud me with kisses,
shielding me
from the bad.

i realise you don't
know the power
of your words
but i do.
it hurts,
it really hurts
me.

i am aching.

i beseech you.
release me
now.
this is not a love poem, nor is it a poem about being abused in any way. it's simply a poem.

also:
should I keep the first stanza? I was considering deleting it.

keep it, but
move it.

place it after

you shroud me with kisses,
shielding me
from the bad.
...

otherwise, this is brilliant.
