And as the tears streak her rosied cheeks,
Making tracks like streams cutting through forests,
She realized
That the only thing that hurt more than crying about someone else
Was crying about
How much
You hate yourself.

It was terrifying,
To see the light drained from her beautiful eyes,
To see the life leave her body
Even though she was not dead.
Bret May 2016
Her rage held all the power of a hurricane,
and her eyes held all the fight of a wildfire.

She was not a sweet and dainty flower to be held,
but rather a shard of jagged glass
that could cut through the flesh of others
to create a canvas on their skin.

My tears,
when smudged against the ink on the page,
made for a rather unpleasant sight.

But,
my tears,
when smeared against the blood on my arm,
made for a much more beautiful picture.

It's really no wonder
why my skin became my diary.
Bret May 2016
I'm screaming
but all you seem to hear
is nothing but the wind rustling the leaves
and the joyous robin's song
whose only goal is to
completely drown out
my continuous pleas
for help.

'Just Married!' Read the shattered windshield.

Blood stained freshly whitened ground.

I tried to stop the bleeding.

"It's okay. Just try to breathe."

"Please don't leave me here alone."

Hours later, the frantic beeping stopped.

Replaced by just one static line.

Not a day without her voice.

I called but got no answer.

It was only her answering machine.

I could not live without her.

Love like ours is never fixed.

I went to the nearest bridge.

I jumped, then changed my mind.

But it was already too late.

she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt,
"lie to me again."
she whispered although
her heart ached to hear his response.

"i love you."
he replied
without any remorse.
