Disassociating

She screams her pain
Like a cluster-fuck of razor blade
Cuts reaching up her arms
She wraps her arms across
Her stomache and chest
Rocking and whimpering
No, no, no, no
Grabs fistfuls of hair
Pulling and whimpering
Scratching her face
Screams don't touch me
When I try to stop her
I do
All I can do is tell her
She's safe
And I love her
I repeat it over
And over
Then she comes back
To me
Says please hold me
I wrap my arms around her
Just holding her
I never expected this
