ebony flowing from your scalp like a river of never-ending night a rocky river bed staring at me with water verdant and cool a curvaceous figure draped in ivory with gentle speckles dusted across your cheeks rose petals part while you speak words leaving them like music
As I become undone My threads untangle Every little knot unraveling Their stories lost Memories fade Images drown in static I succumb to little needles Pricking every surface of my skin While a song seeps from my throat And leaks onto the dusty floor Alone on creaky hardwood In a dark Dim Crumbling Home
Weeds grow from beneath my fingernails Flowers blossom in my lungs Petals blooming from my throat I can no longer breathe I can no longer reach For the distant dream Of loving you
my one wish is to find someone who sees the world as beautiful as i do with their mouth preaching poetic beauty as i have once done to all the boys i have loved
I will spread dirt into every crevice of my broken heart and plant flowers so big and beautiful, that their roots will mend all the shattered pieces back together, and you’ll never be able to see the mess I used to be.
