They locked you up,
I saw.
They fed you pills,
checked under your tongue to make sure
you swallowed.
They watched you,
talked to you,
tried to understand you.
But we both knew
that would never happen.
We knew things that no one should know,
not ever.
We had to let them out,
we had to let out the demons,
let out the pain.
We had to push them away,
we had to stay
a precious little secret.
You said you hated me.
Ha!
Liar. You know it,
I know it.
You need me
to supply the razors,
miraculously hide the pills,
to pick you up when you fall,
to soothe you with kisses
maybe my lips are needles,
but you...
You are quite the piece of work,
and you need more then needles
to patch the holes in your life.
More then the blade
or the knife
or the pills,
you do see, don't you?
you need me
What did you think?
