How?
by Jo Coombs

How can you love me?
I hate myself.
How can you save me?
I want to die.
How can you reach me?
I turn and run.
How can you find me?
I flee and hide.
How can I believe in you?
I don’t believe in myself.
How can I trust my heart?
It’s broken and dead.
How can you comfort me?
I can’t cry anymore.
How can you hold me?
I’ve forgotten how to live.

I’ve forgotten how to live.
