it



it festers

and I let it,

I don’t know why


the suffering is a

stimulation,

self-flagellation 

with word-whips

over and over again


arterial red

splits the skin

and I let it


I don’t know why

but the painful grin

is so addicting


this beats love to

a pulp every time,

bludgeoned back

into a corner


it festers there,

a veil of convulsing insanity

over a pretty dream


forever unrealized



(Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky on tumblr)
