Darby Hurr Dec 2017
I'm still holding onto
the rose
whose thorns tear into my delicate skin
but I don't care
It hurts less than letting go
of that kind of beauty
I'll see you in Hell.
Darby Hurr Dec 2017
I hope my words
Float into your open window in the summer;
Settle over you like a blanket, the warm humidity
Of the night
And with each star in the clear sky, my words drift crisply into your ear
Whilst your head lies against your pillow-
In the morning you’ll be none the wiser,
But inside,
you’ll know
I was there beside you
like a phantom in the night
Darby Hurr Dec 2017
Neon butterflies beat their wings against the soft darkness of inside of my eyelids
Nothing short of searing pain
And the ache that’s grown over months of slaving through your life
Not being a human
But a prisoner to everything
Darby Hurr Dec 2017
Standing outside on the edge of my tiptoes,
I witnessed many strange occurrences:
The moon, round and white as the dusty china dish that holds my rings, cast rays so bright I had a staring contest with my own shadow
It was midnight yet I still heard the rubbery sound of a lone goose echoing throughout the busyness of an abandoned street
And although tears made pools of my eyes, the Christmas lights did not blur in my vision. They stayed true and told me I was out of place and they were not.
‘Twas an unusually warm for a night of December and I couldn’t help but to revel in the hectic night for a little longer than I should have
