No
Saying no to you is something I thought I
would never need do and certainly never want to do but you have forced me.
Saying no to you is
Like
Letting someone stick a knitting needle
deeply in to my stomach
Like
Dropping your phone down a drain when you
were expecting the most important call of your life
Like
A frozen turkey falling off the counter and landing on your toe
Like
Being bitten by the dog you knew would bite
you as you sprinted so hard you couldn’t breathe and felt it as it snuck up on you as
you knew you would have to stop soon.
This physical pain despite explanation
hurts more than that toothache or that time I face-planted as I walked back in
to school on the phone.
Saying no to you is a torture I didn’t feel
I would be able to withstand.
Its lucky what your asking for is a
complete and unadulterated proof that this pain will inevitably stop hurting as
I hold reality up to my imaginary life with you like a stained glass window.
