Arms Length

By myscreamsilenced

Keeping all of you at arms length
Never trusting any of you
How could I
After all that you do?

Can’t you see the stains
from painful memories on my arm?
It wasn’t just one,
but all of you who have caused me harm.

Distant, and left alone
It’s not fun but that’s what i do
Keeping all of you at arms length
After all that you do.
