I know you’re hurting.
Our bodies collide, you tear my heart through my rib cage.
You broke me.
You made a home under my skin and I can’t get you out. Oh please let me in.
You came crawling out, straight from the factory you were made in.
Following in your father’s footsteps.
A monster that lurks in my dark room, I didn’t expect to see you like this in my nightmares, in the shadowy corners of the streets, wedged between my bed sheets.
It plays like a movie,
I can’t shut it off.
The static rings in my ears, the echo of your sweet heavy sighs.
Leave me for all i am,
Leave me for sweet dreams
I can’t shut it off.

Leave me for all i am,
Leave me for sweet dreams
I can’t shut it off.

very well written and can feel the emotion in this piece.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
