You put a blanket Over the concrete And called that "Catching" me. You held my hand Then watched me fall I still bear the scars From the last time I let my guard down I still bare my teeth Whenever someone Gets a little too close You broke my serenity And left anxiety In its place. Next time I won't Breathe in the smoke That you call oxygen. Just leave me here To suffer and bleed And we'll call it even. poetry
