Broken wings
Broken heart
Why did I let them
Tear me apart?
My lips bleed out
The words I hold in
My wrists shine
With the letters iv'e engraved
They all say the same thing,
"Help!"

I remember you
You’re not you
Anymore.

No
You’re you
Just another version
Less innocent.

Me too.

Love shatters like ice.
To be more specific
It shatters people.

Love is strong
People are not
Specifically me.

I feel smeared
Like a cloud
Or gel pen ink.

Maybe there’s something between us.
A fire that we kindle but try to put out as if we are ashamed,
Blinded by the light.
But as that fire grows larger,
It becomes harder to control.
At some point,
We must accept the warmth that the flames bring us.

I don't do the dishes
I won't even try
My relationship with the world
is tied to a lie
