Sharp thorns,
A small trickle of blood on
Delicate rose petals,
A thunderstorm to
Take away the memory
Of your lips
From two nights ago,
Your hand in mine
Let's run away
Before it all ends
I realize now that
I might have wasted some of my
Precious time
Trying to rewrite
The stars and change
Constellations
Into a love story
That was never fated
To last
i am afraid to breathe
i am afraid to think
i am afraid to feel.

i can hear myself breathing
its almost suffocating.

i wish the battle in my mind
would come to a ceasefire
so that i could stop drowning
in my thoughts.

Painted in hues of grey
a bluff that reaches down into
rainbow colored waters

Wind whipping through
dark strands of auburn hair
crashing into brushed tones of bright blue

Jagged shades of opal
striking in the orange twilight
impaled into dark teal palms

A heart pulsing blue
splatters the floor with flowers
There is beauty even in death
