If only vowels can grow arms,
if only consonant can have eyes, if only sentences can breathe...
and if only words can form a human body.
**I wouldn't be haunted by him
If only you can live near me ...

there was nothing beautiful about it
her cheeks lost the gentle blush
her hair fell out in clumps
her teeth began to yellow
nails weak and broken
lips bruised and bleeding
there was nothing beautiful about
her scarred arms
or swollen eyes
she wasn't lovely
she wasn't kind
she'd just gone
and lost her mind
there was nothing beautiful about it*
losing all her friends
being reduced to numbers on a scale
gpa or kgs
having her best friend give up on her
having her boyfriend yell at her for not taking care of herself
having her mother cry out in sorrow
having her little sister lose a role model

there was nothing beautiful in the pain she felt
there was nothing beautiful in her sadness
there was nothing beautiful
about waking up
to a dying heart

-

the blood in my veins has dried
the spark in my eyes has died
my past self cries.

If you knew me entirely, you wouldn't love me anymore

feed me poison,
watch me die,
savour while I struggle.

stab me with knives,
hear me cry,
make my screams your favourite song.

cut me up,
bleed me dry,
swim in my tears.

let me go through hell,
in beds of fire, lie
make castles of my ashes.

leave me behind,
and say goodbye,
carry with you a piece of me.

but please.. don't say you love me
only to lie.
I really thought I had you
Tied down.
My personal tamed tiger
Confined to the bedroom
To the kitchen
To my fears of outside.
But then I kept walking in on you
Staring out the window.
It's silly.
I never thought you'd figure out
That you deserved much better
Than me.
Since you walked out
I've been sitting at this window
Staring
For years.
But
I still don't see it.
