Run Free

A poem I wrote about my battle with cutting and how it affects my husband.

The tears fall as my shame shows even more
Hiding everything from you closing my secret door
The streaks left behind are my proof I failed me
Be happy lil girl while the blood runs free
Down my arm onto the floor
I didn’t even notice I don’t care anymore
You snatch me up Fear in your eyes
The crazed face you have makes me cry
I try not to hurt you the best that I can
But I look and see tears down the face of my man
I feel I failed you The shame overpowering me
I have to keep it from you Never let you see
It’s not you that hurts me so deep on the inside
You fixed the broken heart that stole my pride
You gave me your heart and I know what I gained
You wrapped your arms around me and stole my pain
I feared you didn’t love me til I watched you fight it all away
I love you, Let us fight together so that I can stay.
