Alexandria Hope Nov 2015
You thought you'd be,
A temporary bandaid,
You tried to help me out for your own sake,
And I thought it was real
But you never wanted to stay part of me
And when you rip yourself away,
I'm going to bleed.
Alexandria Hope Nov 2015
Wrapped up in all this hurt,
We can't heal each other
Try to put the pain to words,
Why do I even bother?
Through this hate and animosity,
You say you wanted to be closer,
But I know you just want to be free
So be free
Alexandria Hope Nov 2015
This is life, not heaven, and when our angels cry,
We cry with them

for the smallest of these creatures -
a flightless butterfly,
a lame bird,
a mute hound

she waters the withering
and mends the broken,
but she is
dying
all the same
