Coping.

Are you ever just aggressive

for the sick fascination of it?

like a distant childhood memory 

I just want to know why,

what does it feel like to cause hurt?

Just because I can 

or because I want to.

It’s learning the art of unapologetically

digging your fingers into my flesh

and letting red run,

of making me believe it never happened,

or atleast not how I remember,

you were kinder

and I’m just remembering wrong.

And I know I’m too soft

to be so hard on others.

So it’ll always 

and only ever be,

a sick fascination.
