Jasmine May 2020
Crumbled in a bedsheet
Crying, don’t leave me behind
Standing, I don’t care if you go.
Jasmine May 2020
So great my heart begins to race
Then burst and pace
Until what was great is just a pain
And the pain is just the mirror
Face
Jasmine May 2020
I can’t change the colour of blood,
and I can’t stand up for all this mud.
I am a stone.
You are the ocean.
Jasmine May 2020
Oh I wonder what would happen
If I fell back into ruin
Crumbled into my sheets
like dust
Never seen again.
Jasmine May 2020
I feel like when there is too much space around me,
I could hold a breath and never let go,
no one would hear my hand fall to the ground
because the room has too much sound, and my
small hand means nothing to a concrete floor,
carpeted over to muffle the screaming silence.
Jasmine May 2020
It slips off the tongue like it's been waiting for years.
Everyone eats it up like they've been starving.
And I feed them like I'm starved of attention.
Jasmine May 2020
Do we love each-other or are we just trying to fit in?
Pretending that because we laugh, we must love.
Telling you that you know everything about me
when I hide every thing I can from you.
Tearing my hair out, why am I such a liar?
But you've been lying too.
You tell me that you love me when I could be anyone to you.
