Closed for healing

Feelings have spilled

on the floors of my chest cavity

swept aside to keep the peace.

The following morning

it remains

scrub it with rationale

it slightly fades.

Forgot my feelings were

like blood

messy, dyeing

each sense of wrong

gouges the heart

spilling inside the soul.

Takes me back

to memories of weakness

doormat-cy.

Like Mob psycho

the little things

stack until explosion.

So I scrub and scrub away

rinse and dry the pain

find a soft carpet

to hide and leave

cause such feelings can't be bandaged

on my own.

Best to reflect

and bury

as I was slightly in the wrong.

This roof is not my own

It is not my place to avenge myself

I have to leave such feelings alone

and only pray

that my tolerance

doesn't suddenly vanish someday.
