shithead

looking at you hurts
i feel that warm space you took up
start to ignite
burning me from the

like i do
wishing i could stop
opening the same wound
feeling the same piece
die a second
a third
a fourth death

This has possibilities definitely but, you might think more about really amplifying the pain in the first section so it isn't so understated. Maybe you should bring in more of the reality of being burned, i.e. dead nerves, scarred flesh--something that pulls the reader in. You called it shithead which signifies to me that there is anger within, but it doesn't seem to come out in your words.
