Words trail around
in my head
with no semblance
of organization
no rhythm no rhyme
certainly no sense of time
and I long for
the perfection that used to be
where now I see only me

i had to leave you
even if my heart ached to do it.
i had to leave you
even if my brain told me not to.
i had to leave you

TW! substance abuse and self harm

A sharpner
That's all it takes
The only thing
that can take the numbness away
A plain, white pill
A handful if I please
The numbness will return
But in a better way.

for me you sparkle
more than the stars
in my sky

You.
Are.
A.
Walking.
Masterpiece.
