Melt

There’s a dull

floor of of hurt

and discomfort inside

It’s best to treat it as an absolute while being mindful that it is porous and unsteady

to be aware of it’s fragile nature is important when forcing yourself

to stay above it

to stay away from the depths it contains

but a mind drifts in time

where you know you deserve these feelings and you know this pain is earned and

when

you combine

it with

the thought of

the last time

any affection

attraction

was received

a determination degrades

a bit

I have no intention of going down

but I can see through it all lately
