You don’t know what you think you know
Or rather, I won’t let you know what you know is right
Please, stop trying to save me
Just let me self-destruct here in peace
I used to think you kind of care might save me
But now I know that was foolish
When you care,
You can hurt
And it’s not fair that you should
Because I will invariably hurt you
But I stopped feeling, stopped caring long ago
So you can’t hurt me in return
And, in the end, nothing will be accomplished
We will just end up spent
Fighting ourselves and each other
I will just cause you pain

I like this. A lot. It’s very real. Bravo. <3
Nothing wrong with short poems. Give Haiku a shot.
Thank you, Dead.
And I know, Gaara. I just usually write longer ones.
