it is not logical.

and she loves the girl

with the too-bright eyes

and fakefakefake smile

but sometimes

she thinks she hates her too.

it's in the way

she makes her lose

control.

and in the way

she can't say no

but she has to because

otherwise

she won't say anything at all.

the girl is

c racked and bro ken

and so she has to

smile, sometimes, when all

she wants to do is

scream.

the girl suffocates her and

desecrates her

with so-so much

EMOTION

pounding in her head

illogical

illogical

make it stop

and when she has smiled

one too many

times and is about to run

the girl laughs

(whole and beautiful) and

maybe,

just maybe,

she is worth it.
