"Please Read Me"

I wrote this for a poetry class prompt where I'm suppose to write a letter from a part of my body (my chronic pain) to me. It doesn't feel quite right yet.

​

"Please Read Me"

​

My Love,

I wake you in the early morning

reminding you I will always

be here spooning you,

Why do you hate me?

You are my whole world

and I am your whole body,

nothing but burdensome pain

chronically tearing you down

leaving you silently screaming

when I just want to remind you

I'm here.

​

Honey,

Why are you always crying?

My presence isn't a plague.

Why my love?

I just want to love you

I just want to be with you

Companionship was my gift

and you returned it with loneliness.

​

My Love,

Why is your doctor

forcing her needle into me?

Why does she keep touching me?

Tell her we're monogamous

the headaches can take a hike,

Why are you turning on me?

Why can't I have a home.

Why do you hate me

When all I do is Love you?

Why?

I just trying to understand.
