I Don’t Want To Hurt Anymore

as the chill of your words
numbed my soul beyond all reason
.......the words                      
that poured forth
and spilled on to my conscious memory    
now.....
forces the searing thoughts of refusal
to the brink of comprehension

I can feel the pain
as the reality of life
spreads the hurt
of the deliberateness of your words
deep inside
accumulating at the edges
slowly spreading inward
trying to capture my soul
as the aching numbness grasps my heart

all I want is to hold you close
smell your skin
pull your body tight to mine
rub my face into your long blonde hair
feel safe
feel your need
like we used to be

and hurt no more
