You liked my picture

I like yours back

You sent me a message

And that was that.

I fell so hard

I thought you did too

But you were entertaining her

Whilst I was only for you.

My mental health makes me and breaks me.
I’m unique and different and quirky and so very dead inside.
Just a quick play around with words

I just feel

So

Unwanted.

Skin
T Oct 2018
Skin. I have miles of it. It’s pink and warm and soft to touch. You touched it. But your touch was unwelcome. Skin. I want to strip it off. Layer by layer. So it’s like you were never there. Like how I was before my body knew you existed. I don’t want to look in the mirror and be reminded of your hands on my... Skin. Do you think of me? I have no choice but to think of you. I can still smell you. Still feel the weighted pressure on my chest. Skin. I cant breath. You're suffocating me. But you're not really there. Only in my nightmares. You stole something from me that night. I don't think I'll ever get it back. Skin. I can't stand living in mines.

What is space? And why do you need it? Am I really that suffocating?

Power of words
T Oct 2018
Why is it
That
Your voice
is like crisp,
cold lemonade
on a hot summers day.

But the words you speak

Are like
sharp talons ripping
through
my very existence.

Why
does your love
hurt
so much.

I felt

So much

That

I started

To feel

Nothing.

to hurt is to feel
T Oct 2018
I need to feel the sweet release I long for and the silence that follows.

The simple, destructive act of opening my skin and allowing the demons beneath my surface to temporarily escape.

Temporarily.

Temporary.

It doesn't last.

Nothing does.

Except this constant, numbing drone of pain and its physical manifestation left behind.

I skinned my knees

When I fell for you.

The night we first met, 19th of September 2018.

We spent all night awake fighting off sleep, talking about anything and everything.

At some points we just lay there staring at each other, not saying a word.

I remember your hand caressing the side of my face and hair.

You kept wanting to tell me something but refused to allow the words freedom from your perfect mouth.

It was in that beautifully eternal moment of silence spent tracing every line of your face, committing it to memory, that I knew.

I knew that I was yours and you were mine. That I loved you and I would do anything you asked of me.

No matter what, I am and will always be, forever yours.

I am broken,

But not beyond repair.

I am the hero of my own story,

I am going to save myself.
T Jul 2019
Because I need to start fresh.

my eternity
T Oct 2018
A sweet, adoring gaze wraps around me like a cocoon.

A protective layer.

And I know I'm safe.

The intoxicating scent of perfume lingers on the skin I long to touch.

A simple, gentle caress of those fingertips against my body sends a pulsing current throughout.

Please, let this be my eternity.

You don’t shine as bright. Your touch isn’t as needed. Your voice not as sweet.

You
You didn’t love me enough to be faithful and you didn’t respect me enough to be honest.
