Healer

eileen

If only I could cut my face smaller
shut my lips
and close my eyes forever

I broke a rule
broke two

I'm a mismatch

I broke the rules
only to tell people not to

I wish I could pull off my ears
grow longer legs

If only I could see myself
the way she did

Now we rest
miles away

I can't remember the feeling of your love

I left because I was tired of living with ghosts

You and I
no longer met each others eyes

Your voice didn't reach my heart
When you couldn't hear mine

I'm living in the American dream

Swimming pools
at 7 degrees

Moments fall around me like snow

When I die
I will see all the snowflakes melt

the black rose

the girl that can’t be loved

she’s too strong,
she’s too much,
she’s too tough to love.

she’s too hard,
she’s too broken,
she’s not enough.

she’s imperfect,
she’s wild,
she’s lost in the wind.
she’s insane,
sending signs of chaos from within.

hi.

Please Explain

I have no reason to be sad.
I have food on my table,
I live in a luxurious stable,
I’m not disabled nor financially unstable.
Everything I want, I had.
So please explain to me how I went all bad?
