Daniela Marie
There's a knot in the base of my throat.
It plants itself and grows roots inside my lungs.
A thought escapes and the roots ****** against my chest and I'm struggling to breath.
My eyes blurred the world leaving me with distorted images that mix with bleeding colors.
I sit there frozen.
What is this body that leaves me numb?
I despise the thought of being another broken.
Why can't I make my thoughts look prettier?
I couldn't give it what it needed.
I searched for it in the exchanges of whispers as I laid my body down for the boys who wanted their turn.
I searched for it in the moon that illuminates my hair.
It was the only thing I could count on when I looked up.
I dreamt that it would take me in the purple clouds if I could just swing high enough.
Floating like a feather but my heart full and heavy from the moonlight.
But I haven't swung in so long and these roots keep growing.
Weighing my chest down more and i'm scared i'll never get to fly.

do we really have to know depth to realize we can drown?
do we really have to get hurt to realize there's pain?
do we really have to see things perish to realize time is limited?
do we really have to be torn to pieces to realize we're fragile?

there's so much we don't know,
there's so much we refuse to know,
destruction, death, oblivion,
we all end to nothingness.
If we suffer still, why not live according to your will.

she's
a liar and
a foolish woman
​too full of herself or
​frightened to
admit

​she's lost without you


the
sun is gone
​blue skies have faded and
clouds hover above
​her


Sunrays
​only reflect upon lovers
and she suffers at each glimpse of
​their togetherness


Loneliness
​has entombed her
she's chilly whether indoors or out
​day and night even when temperatures
​reach record breaking, hot

​she

​is

​f r e e z i n g


Her
​tears fall like
​rainfall whenever she
​encounters lingering scent of you
​and her spent in the bedroom, bathroom, living room

​in

​every

​single

​room
christened
​in the name of a
​soul deep love

​and like a shrine she enters each 
​kneeling, inhaling and worshiping EVERY **** image
​that daily ritual brings

​and

​when
​compelled to step
​outside amongst scrutinizing eyes

​she
​prances in her
​prefabricated glow trying
​to convince those
​around her

​she
​hasn't
​missed
​a
step
​without 
​you


all
​awhile
​­inside

​she's tripping

​and

​crying out in
​agony


since you

the
sun's
​been
​gone


and

​she's cold

​soul

​cold

ms reluctance
I can see you are broken
in such exquisite fashion
that your jagged edges fit
perfectly with mine.
