The presence of my soul
stands before me
begging for mercy
to become
who?
someone worthy
in this journey
so-called life.

You make my brain go numb and wild at the same time

Ineffable things I would do, to make you mine.
alora 1d
Test me
open me

dissect my soul into strings.

Braid them and wear them
for my soul will protect you.

the light above the stove
looks dimmer
without you.

27 years it took her to realize she wasn't alone;
she had herself.
But who was she? She felt more.
So she left. Alone like an iceberg, she was drifting away to thaw from her past. But once she found herself, she was far from solus.
She felt it. She could feel them. One was cold like it never got a chance to melt away the anger. One was warm, like a hug from a mother. Then there's herself. But is I the real me?
The cold one. The one who is always right can sense the impending doom of what is inevitable.
They call her mad.
The warm one. The one who drowned her sorrow in an unforgiving culture that slowly grabbed her legs and dragged her underneath the waves.
They call her a loony.
Did you know we can't feel wet? We can only feel temperature and pressure.
So, she feels pressure. She can feel the temperature bouncing from cold to warm, giving a sense of chaos. The same feeling she felt fighting to find out who she was.
The tide tore her into three.
So alas there is one who is kind, compassionate, and benevolent. They call her me.

She strips to her skin and bones
The hairs stand up on her neck
Shocked by her reflection
Facing a ***** mirror
Her collarbones seeping through her pale cold skin suddenly she doesn’t recognize herself
She looks down
And the blood starts pumping again
She looks up
Who was this goddess standing before her? She merely thought it was a reflection of god
So
She looks down
Brooding herself,peeling her skin exposing the nerves
The same nerves that couldn’t stop feasting on the abandon hope of the future
The same nerves with the myelin sheath that she couldn’t control
Exposing the tissue she so desperately wanted to cut off
But then she looks up
She breathes in embracing the goddess within
her past and future merge in the mirror's grin

the skin against her silhouette varnishes her body covering the thoughts from becoming.

words that sting like wasps
she welcomes the pain

preventing the sharp glass against her veins
