The Map of Her Skin
The scars on her wrist
Whisper           Secrets
Of                      When

Her Reflection
Showed a Monster
Clawing to Escape

Her eyes saw
Shadows Dancing
Fire Behind Lids

Tears fall down
Her Hollow Face
leaving dewy trails
In their wake

Doctors left to
Pick        Up
Her
     A            
         Broken
Shell-of         A-girl

Take a breath
They    said
Hold    it in
Release, release

Let            Go
It seems so simple
A Laughable cure

Time Heals
All Wounds
This Clock   Stopped
Ticking

Time
For this Girl
To treat Herself
Find her    Own Method

Fill    the    Empty
Block the   Hole
With
Anything you Find

Stuff it in
Shove it in
Try it all

A
Deadly Concoction
A    Welcome SIN

Blood from lifeless skin
Water from empty eyes
Oil from burning heart

Light the Match
Let go
L..e..t

Fire Burn
Burn  Burn
Her   soul

A Welcome distraction
Away            from
The               Gaping Hole

Gnawing at
Her               Insides

Tasting
Her               Despair

Stop!!!
She               SCREAMS

Caving         In
Succumbed to Begin
The
Breaking

Of   Flawless   Skin
Give her peace
For  ONE Day
Let her feel
Sane

I want a place
A place to be free
Free from pain

I still feel your arms
Your lips
Your heartbeat
Your words
Your hands

Our Fingers interlaced
I remember shinning
Like the sun
Now I shadow
Like darkness

Stars still twinkle
Bright
Dim though is their light

Once sound sleep
Now I beg to keep

Felt the storm
Refuse Remains
Cleaning up

Finding Scattered
Finding Shattered
Broken up

Pieces
Of
Myself

Breathe now
Stand now
Breathe again

Step now
Run now
Strive

Hope
Now
Come

Wish please grant
Breathe
Rebirth-Myself

The father I go
Lines mark my time

Trees whisper their
Goodbyes

It feels like a vacation
Like a dream
While you awaken

Foot taps anxiously
To an unknown beat

Stare out the window
Making wishes on clouds

Knowing
Its just beginning

How can I call it home
When I get lost every turn

When I don't see the land
Which shaped me
Like my mother’s
Loving hands

When people talk
I just hear sound
Not melody

Like I did
Nestled in my
Old apple town

I see a blank page
Craving
To be filled

Memories to be made
New places to discover
Friends to be had

Its time to put
My old book on the self

Take out a pen
And re- write myself

The monsters are coming
They’re clawing
My door

There is no chain
Lock
Nor key

No
Hiding
Anymore

Hide n Seek
Is their favorite
Game

They’re Strong
Patient
Beasts

Won’t
Leave
Till they feast

Their
Food being
Fear

Plenty
In stock
Here

Just when
I think
I am safe

Their shadows
Dance
Awake

I scream
Silent Fear

Moon Light
Dances
On pale skin

Rushing river
Doth
Quiver

Fallen Snow
Flurries
Bellow

Silent stars
Wonder
Wishes

Lonely lovers
Blow
Kisses

Imminent light
Bids
Good Night

Gratifying Gray
Welcomes
New day

If I put my tears
In a bucket
Sailed them out to sea
The bucket would
Bare  Down
Ship

Sinking
to
The Blue

A tear
For
Every
Wish, kiss and
Time   I     Said
"I    love     you."

Down, down, down

Fish won't pass it by
They know danger
Of Lasses Brine
It would join
The others

In The
Shipwrecked
Cemetery

Where pails
beckon
Algae
From
Long
Lost time

Your pain
Eating away
My memory

A graveyard of
Once loved
But no longer in heart

Creating
A rocky
Start

Pebbles will wash
Upon
The shore

With a rumble
A tumble
Sharp edges no more

One day.      FAR.    I  fear
I will  tred back to that
Place

Pick up a stone
Remembering
Your face

I will not shed
A
Tear

A smile will play
My lips
Instead

I might
Close my
Eyes

I might say
Your
Name

But now you
are just a fond
Memory

No longer sound
Makes  heart
Beat

Adding you instead
To my
Treasure chest

Knowing that you
Leaving
Was best
