Lashing out at loved ones
Somehow seems to soothe the pain
Maybe because it’s easier to hurt the ones you love
Because they won’t hurt you like a stranger or acquaintance would
But once you’ve hurt them
You will have to watch the aftermath of your affliction
You will see changes that you won’t be ready to face
There will be an unfamiliar awkwardness
Followed by a feeling of abandonment
Accompanied with lifeless kisses and hugs
The love you once knew has now gone missing
Because the key to your happiness is dead
You killed the feeling of love, trust and safety
Maybe if you’re lucky
When you wake up the next morning
This will all be just one bad dream
And you’ll be given a second chance
To make sure that you don’t hurt the ones you love
