Hurt

1/1

Around you I am a little girl with skinned knees.

Begging for permission with tears and snot and spit dribbling down around my wide, gaping, sobbing mouth. Clinging to your denim clad legs and whimpering, asking you not to leave me. My hair a wild tangle around my face and your face a wild tangle of disgust.

I am not a little girl, but you turn me into that, if not nothing.
