Masking Pain

She hurt herself so that
she could feel something else other than
her heart breaking. 

She thought any pain
was better than the hole
that was in her chest. 

Separating to halves of her soul.
She didn't want to break anymore. 

So she cut her wrist and yelled in agony,
finally something to mask her pain. 

Ironic isn't it,
while others cut just to feel something
she did it so that she couldn't feel anymore...
