Dear Ugly Sink,
      You drip an
innocent rhythm
in tune with the
beat of my heart.
    drip
       drop
To hear your words
those few
painful words
  repeating
a comfort,
a heartbreak...

I miss you.

Underneath the skin
      blood runs through my veins
My heart beats a steady rhythm
      breathing slowly filling my lungs with air

It all just stopped
my blood ran cold
my heart seised its pattern
my lungs gave up

You said things
I didn't think you
were worthy of saying
Let me go,
Let me be who I am
or
let me sleep never to
awaken.

The place where her cold hands
      gripped his perfect arm

he cut
      sheer satisfaction
blood shed
      tears fall
she broke him

Tripping on the edge
      he just got pushed
        one step closer
to the fall

Now the pain is both.
Emotional and physical.
Fall to the floor
Cold concrete on
my bear thighs
A frozen tear on
my cheek

Paint peeling and chipping
off
Exposing the bare wall
underneath
Shy, scared

Light lacing its way through your lashes
Looking into my eyes
Holding my hands
Golden flecks in your dark chocolate hair
Eyes glowing amber
Nothing holding you back
Kiss my lips
Let me fly
Make me forget,
The tears,
The harsh words,
All the times I was filled up with fear.
Just promise me
You won't forget me.
