Needles Poem by rebekka bear

It feels like a thousand needles
stabbing me
not wanting to
release my heart
my chest about to collapse
the tolerance for the pain
Ive given up
there is no more
I feel like you are repeatedly
stabbing me in the chest
not letting my heart beat any longer
it hurts to know
what we used to have
it hurts to remember
it feels like forgetting
has to be the best thing
for me rite now
but I just can't bring myself
to up and forget about you
so until I do
I'll just have to endure the pain
what hurts me
makes me stronger
and when something doesn't hurt
either I'm stronger than I thought
or it wasnt supposed to be
