grace-nicole-espinoza - Hello Poetry

The teeth I had once Ached to force from their hiding place Transform A dim smile Dancing across the room Devouring me Hands I had looked to Hold together Push down my frame Warp everything I'd known Out of place I could if I wanted to, you know? Hisses behind every Corner I can't quite see past Everything once outlined Perfectly defined Lost in the folds In the fragments Of who I was Before you

I could If I wanted to, you know?

The teeth I had once Ached to force from their hiding place Transform A dim smile Dancing across the room Devouring me Hands I had looked to Hold together Push down my frame Warp everything I'd known Out of place I could if I wanted to, you know? Hisses behind every Corner I can't quite see past Everything once outlined Perfectly defined Lost in the folds In the fragments Of who I was Before you

Education, predesigned to open doors, Becomes a leech on the skull Draining creativity Pigmentation leaks from pores This life becomes a cycle of Doing as you're told Never succeeding Unless you conform Repetition wears Warping bones Bending frames Reconstructed to their molds Assembly line humans "The minds of the future" Education Becomes a trap door

At first glance You compliment me Orange hues igniting My brown sugar frame I have been scratching tallies Counting down The days Until autumns grace You embalm me Forever preserved Begging to forget To shed your memories Brown shriveled leaves Cracking swiftly beneath my heals Dust which once glowed green Filled with promises to deceive My twisted beautiful frame Will remain Your words lost In the crackle of crisp air Autumns arrival Will bring your ruin But I Will be born anew

Autumns Arrival

At first glance You compliment me Orange hues igniting My brown sugar frame I have been scratching tallies Counting down The days Until autumns grace You embalm me Forever preserved Begging to forget To shed your memories Brown shriveled leaves Cracking swiftly beneath my heals Dust which once glowed green Filled with promises to deceive My twisted beautiful frame Will remain Your words lost In the crackle of crisp air Autumns arrival Will bring your ruin But I Will be born anew

The river Pecked the shore I saw your crimson lips The sun Kissing the skyline imprinted Memories of waking by your side Autumn set around me Cold wind on my neck In place of your heated skin The seasons change makes me ache To shed clothes like leafs from trees To cover and compliment you With the colors of my heart

You’re all the same Assembly line humans Intentions hidden on Perfectly designed frames Street light eyes To guide me home Are lit by the fire Stolen from my soul All holding smiles Glinting until they blind You’re all the same And you cannot be trusted

Searched for razor sharp teeth To tear at my benevolent heart But my monster Never hid under my bed Or rested in my head His disguise was a smile Stitched To perfection Searched for the man in a mask To raid me But he never stole anything tangible Or that could be replaced His camaflouge skin was Stretched over Empty bones I searched for signs Yellow like the sun Caution But my assailant Looks just like You and I

Skeleton in my closet How I wish you were dead Your memories gather Dust in my head Skeleton in my closet I wish you were a ghost To justify your haunting How you press fear into my bones Skeleton in my closet Your insides are empty Why must you pretend to be alive?

But the shame is yours, not mine.

Skeleton in my closet How I wish you were dead Your memories gather Dust in my head Skeleton in my closet I wish you were a ghost To justify your haunting How you press fear into my bones Skeleton in my closet Your insides are empty Why must you pretend to be alive?

His moonlight skin My guide in the dark Eyes a galaxy But I'm searching for his heart He plucked the sun from the sky Swapped it for my soul Though you can't have both day and night We compliment each other But can never complete each other
