So often, I would go back
to the place that hurt me
—to savor the pain
and the hurt
because I deserve it

So often, I would look
behind me so that
I could grasp the state
of my dwindling reality

So often, I would slick back
the hair I've let grow long
—just to hide the sadness
living in my eyes

I saw nothing as expected
—just empty, black pools
that drown in regret—
heartache—
pain and death
because I deserve it

So often, I would change back
to a shirt I've worn
the night before
—just so I could relive
the days of old
when it was better

But I'd smell the nostalgia
of my past and
I'd remember everything
that brought me here
—just to recall blood
screams—
chains
because I deserve it

So often, I would look back
to the darkness
that devoured me
—to deny myself
of the pleasure of mockery
just so I could find
hope that tomorrow
will come and
it will be better
