I cannot stand the sight of your face
for you saw me break
you watched me cry
yet you continued to lie
and I can never forgive you for that

you are art.
from the freckles that dot you skin like stars
to your green eyes that are burned into my mind
your caramel coloured hair and tanned skin
that I have come to know and love
your laugh is dorky but there is no sound more lovely
you make me smile and God I thank you for that
you are everything familiar and warm
you are *beauty
.
      you are safety.
            you are home.

and one day you won't hurt as much
one day you will no longer find yourself on your bathroom floor
at two a.m.
contemplating life
debating on swallowing the colored pills in your shaking hands
one day you will be happy
one day the silver scars will no longer line the inside of your wrists
one day you will no longer need that to cope
you will be a better person because of what you are experiencing
and although this sounds like the ******* that is said by everybody
it is true
this sadness that engulfs you is temporary
and one day you will make peace with your soul
- l.w.

— The End —
