Broken Skin Poem by Rebecca Dalmaso

You lay beside me in my bed
You occupy my entire head
You poison me from within
You seep out of my broken skin

You kick me when I am already down
You put on show my hideous frown
You take control of my soul
You leave me stuck in this black hole

You own me now, you are worn on my sleeve
You feast on my light, will you ever leave?
You kill any love that tries to come out
You play your games and plant in me doubt

You show off your power to manipulate
You ruin me, you are known as hate.
