i ask you

i ask you,
will you speak of suicide?
how does your darkness relate to pain?
i have written extensively on the subject of pain.
i do not expect my wounds to heal overnight.
i keep them at arms length,
slightly out of sight.
i should not hold onto delusions
of my madness,
that which has forsaken me
and deceived me
when there was light all around me.
and you,
i should not hold on to you
who cannot love me.
