You May Stay

You May Stay

by Elizabeth Challinor

A thousand words screaming

Reason on my side

The feeling is

Addictive

Constrictive

Let it go!

No!

Pleasure seething with pain

Ten thousand words screaming

Reason on my side

The feeling is

Addictive

Constrictive

Let it go!

No!

Pleasure dripping with pain

Words screaming

Pain beaming

Enough!

I can't take it anymore!

Let the thoughts

Go

Pain

You may stay

For a while

While I watch

And smile

At each angry

Useless

Thought

Disappear

Into

The sky

Inside a colourful balloon
