I Want to Cry

I don’t know what is going on.
I am doomed to confusion.
I think about you and I want to cry.
But I don’t and tears never fully reach my eyes.
You ask
‘but we’re okay now?’
And I’m not sure what you mean
I am never okay
I am confused
I am depressed
I am lonely
I am anything
But
Okay
You asked me
That day
Why I wanted you to hit me
I think
I am looking for someone to tell me
That I deserve to be abused
Every time I think about you
I want to cry

    Whoa, this was depressing. But it is interesting, and I wonder why the protagonist would be want to hit, why they feel they deserve it? Very provoking to thought here.

    Very emotional - I like this.
    And the comments are right - you don't deserve to be abused. No one does.
    Thanks for sharing,
