you’re not welcome here anymore

I still hear that voice. A him. A her. A them. Why are you calling to me? For me?

I told you you’re not welcome here. Find someone else to be your home.

But those words, their words — they shriek.

They scrape against the windows, crawl their way into my mouth until suddenly I can’t tell them apart from mine.

Again.

Tricking me into more pain than I can handle.

Agai-

No. Stop it.

Please.

I don’t deserve the things you whisper. I don’t want them.

I never did.
