what does this mean

oh life, why must you hurt so
when everything is so shiny, yet
all the memories pointed
so sharply
in their silence.
oh life, why must you be so soft
like a billowed curtain--
that cringes
and cries as loud as I.
Too pale,
at the edge of your world
i am instantly.
obscured, contented, terrified
here and everywhere
i must never cross you.


I'm naked in your understanding
that all this is temporary
and all my fears are this and that
and all this has already happened.
