*You're a beauty.
Haven't I told you this?
Darling why can't you hear me?
Hush, no don't think of it - let me
take that back. I know why.
Because for all my screaming
their whispers are louder
Please,
Please don't forget
this broken, unsure shadow you're becoming
isn't you
Not all of you.
Even as you crumble I can spot your light
your sweet, gentle soul*
that curses and demeans to protect yourself
*but you never mean it
and so I can't keep my eyes off of you
but my heart is speaking
telling me:
demons destroy
but make a beautiful mess
I begin to see more
but I start to know less
I see how the scars lie deep in your wrists
but I come up with nothing
there's no way to fix you*
because you aren't defeated
*Sweetheart, you're lost
Can't you find me?
Find me Treasure, I'm calling!
she made more scars
fell too hard
and no one heard from her again
It's killing me, Love
My voice never wavered - steady all through.
just once*
just once
*you should have listened to me
and believed in you*
***i once felt ruined and ripped apart
i just smile now
remembering that I can sew***

demons destroy - know less is by Chantelle, she made more scars - her again is by NothingButMe, It's killing me - believed in you is by Matill, i once felt - i can sew is by MissMorbid. I simply saw all of these and I thought they made a perfect story together because I had read them all around the same time, and this is written from a while back.
