i love the blood
pounding in my head,
as you dangle me upside-down—
lips turning bright red.

how sad would it be
if two people
meant to be together

never had a chance
because they were too scared
to leave their

toxic
jail cells
of relationships.

Tonight is the night
When I tell you
My truth,
My truth is my love
My truth is my sorrow
My truth are the tears
That fall off of my face,
My heart is in ache
For all it’s ever known is pain
Tonight the scars will be on display
While my eyes paint
A picture of dismay,
As this feeling of void
Has become too hard
To avoid.
