&quot;I was a child and she was a child,<br /> In this kingdom by the sea,<br /> But we loved with a love that was more than love&mdash;<br /> I and my Annabel Lee&mdash;<br /> With a love that the wing&egrave;d seraphs of Heaven<br /> Coveted her and me.&quot; -Edgar Allan Poe


The eyelashes pressing furiously into my eyelids, they hurt.
The steam mill in my chest with incomparable speed, it hurts.
The demeaning happiness leaving your mouth and thrashing around my skull, it hurts.
Please, stop speaking, stop breathing.
Stop living because now I’m hurting.
It’s you; you’re hurting me.
Why have you chosen a new life, a new family?
Was I not perfect, like your God says I am?
You’re different now and it’s killing me inside.
Before I die I must return home.
Stop pulling me back, leave me to cry.
I need to scream loud because the pain, it hurts.
