Our forever will live on in the fact that I will never forget you.

Red
Becky Scrivens May 2018
Red
I still see it.
To this day its still there.
Every part of me you touched,
spoke about,
hated.
Is red.
You left it on me.
To look at everyday.
To try and hide from others.
To make me feel like I deserve the least.
Because look at me.
I am covered in red.
And the only ones who fall for people covered in red.
Are ones that can add their own shade to me.
This is about being in abusive relationships, and letting them make you believe that you deserve the worst. So you settle for someone who doesn't treat you right believe that that is how it should be, and that is the best thing for you.

Thorns
Becky Scrivens May 2018
Did you really think
a rose like me
with thorns like mine
would not cut you
whilst you held me

i was an empty
adolescent stem
filled with nothing but
hope and time
and it was you
that pulled these thorns
out of me
to fill me with
constant loneliness
you made it so
i pushed people away
with my thorns
but you were the one
that put them there

so now
above all the damage
are red petals
that fall with
every thorn you touch
as you uncover
and cut yourself on me
the beauty dies
and all that's left
is pain
This is about when you push people away and isolate yourself in fear of attachment because of what someone else has done to you in the past. Overall the affect that someone else can have on you.

not me
Becky Scrivens Nov 2018
i will ask, don't come to me
if what you hope to find
is a little bit of sanity
and a bit of peace of mind

hidden
Becky Scrivens Nov 2018
nowhere left to hide
nowhere left to run
and the stitches holding my mask together
have started to become undone

— The End —
