Beautiful

I was once a body of water There were worlds of life within me I was deep I was clear I was iridescent And I was beautiful.

I crushed my heart against a blank page. And I watched as the bare white of the page disappeared behind the thick layer of maroon I smeared. I composed a symphony that consisted of every sound that had ever resurrected a grim memory. I sought solace in pain, it was the only constant I had ever known. I had intended to perform this song for her. I had hoped that she would find comfort in my pain the way I found comfort in her rapid heart beat. So I silently chanted what I had prepared while neatly folding the sheet. I am sure every fold is symmetrical, just before stuffing it into my pocket. Our eyes met and my insides collapsed as she stared into me. I fumbled to grasp my confessions. But once I held the creased sheet before her, stabbing me with silence she swiftly made her way to a desk and burrowed her head in her arms. Immediatly after lifting her head she began to scribble furiously. Her pen bled onto the paper and I watched her mind melt onto the page. How effortless I thought.

I haven't been hungry for weeks but you are all I have craved since I last saw you smile.

I could not breathe as the sharpness in her breath tore through my skin She cupped my face, hands as tired as she was. Upon feeling her rough callused palms against my cheek, I knew I could never be safe outside of her strong hands caging my face. Her smile was weak, but it was all she could muster the assurance was in the vigor of her attempt And as I grew closer to an absence of consciousness It became harder for her to hold her tongue. Like barbed wire, I wore her words I wore her words around my throat Around my neck with pride And she allowed me to bleed all over.

I could not breathe as the sharpness in her breath tore through my skin She cupped my face, hands as tired as she was. Upon feeling her rough callused palms against my cheek, I knew I could never be safe outside of her strong hands caging my face. Her smile was weak, but it was all she could muster the assurance was in the vigor of her attempt And as I grew closer to an absence of consciousness It became harder for her to hold her tongue. Like barbed wire, I wore her words I wore her words around my throat Around my neck with pride And she allowed me to bleed all over.

I was looking around like a child like a lost child Desperately seeking a face as worn as my own Eyes just as sunken deep within their sockets Crouched in a corner hidden a body just as beaten down Find me A heart just as wild Unlike a child I did not seek guidance I was never really hidden only hiding Hoping someone would take control because there are things i cannot(control) My skin crawls, I'm restless But do not pity me. Take me. Pin me down. Pierce nails into my hands and feet Keep me from floating away Again I was hoping someone would take control of what grows inside of me

The Fury Inside.

I was looking around like a child like a lost child Desperately seeking a face as worn as my own Eyes just as sunken deep within their sockets Crouched in a corner hidden a body just as beaten down Find me A heart just as wild Unlike a child I did not seek guidance I was never really hidden only hiding Hoping someone would take control because there are things i cannot(control) My skin crawls, I'm restless But do not pity me. Take me. Pin me down. Pierce nails into my hands and feet Keep me from floating away Again I was hoping someone would take control of what grows inside of me
