Second Person
I need to sleep
I need your bed
My bed?
Hurts my back
Wrenching pain?
Can’t you see
That I’m slumped
Slumped over in pain
Like some monkey
I need you
Yes there are things
That I need too
I thought you
Would know
But do I?
Haven’t you heard
A word that I’ve spoken?
Not a word,
That’ll be enough
From you
Yes, yes come
& sit down
Surely you’ve heard
It all before
Lies!
All lies I tell you!
Does anyone know?
It must’ve been
A fire
Yes, well a fire you say
Could you be sure
Well one is never sure
I’m afraid
Afraid?
What are you afraid of?
Never mind
You don’t understand
Sometimes
Words can hurt
Bruise the skin
You know
Bleed the flesh
Bleed?
Oh I’m sorry
You’re hurt?
Have you suffered
Great pain?
Pain
Pain is a 4-letter word
Most dangerous
I’m sure
As any other 4-letter word
Hate, Fear, Love...
Well surely
You get my point
Could it be the SAME?
Careful there
When you’re using
A 4-letter word
Like that
You really should
Warn a person first
Could be dangerous
Mighty dangerous
My friend
Friend, if I took
That word there
As cake once said
Friend is a 4-letter word
Come to think of it
So is cake!
Don’t look
So confused
You’re understanding
My point exactly!
