He’d call me into the bathroom
Pinch my arm
Or find cut on my skin
And rub alcohol on it
“Doesn’t that feel good, Liana?”
He’d say

I knew I only had one option
And that was to say yes

I just want someone to love me enough
That the scars seem just as beautiful as my eyes to them

At 5, her smile was bright,
Which soon burned out like a fading light.
Made some friends, lost some more,
Tried being happy with a heart so sore.

At 13, she caked her face,
To fit in a world which was a maze,
Was called a ***** for trying hard,
Pierced her heart like a game of dart.

At 17, she found a love,
Thought she found a pure white dove.
Love was lust and shattered her,
He left her like a toy mere.

At 21, everyday she cried,
She ain't living, she just survived.
Wore a white gown, took a piece of blade,
Soon the white gown whole turned to red.

Every night
my harrowed mind
dive into our littered memories
that's evermore enshrined in my dreams.

i am found in love with you

in constellations hot
likeawish,
        burning
        &cascading gainst
the outline of romance,

stargazer,you

watch his arms hold her
& pushes her spine
into him
               contouring
swooning heart & bullet
breathing
                 'gainst her neck

take your eyes
                            as fireflies
in the humidity of dance
& come entangled in it

realise the melting of day
& fade in,so take me. i am less
        than a galaxy away

& that is so why i love you
