i feel it
it’s creeping back.. i can feel it.
that dismay and insecurity--the slow and
steady loss of control
the blatant whispers
that tell you to not go there--because you’ve been burned before. badly.
and the wounds of the burn ache as a
reminder that they were once there.
i can’t let myself forget.
i feel the fear crawling back
stop. don’t. don’t get
attached this time. don’t be stupid.
don’t be stupid.
don’t be stupid.
not this time.
