Breathing Your airy words now lack the conviction to make me listen Your flow-y hair no longer makes me worship you Your bubblegum lips may speak But you just say words There is no longer poetry in the curve of your hips Your hands no longer create art Your body language has gone extinct I used to write symphonies dedicated to you walking away from me I wrote sonnets about the warmth of your embrace chilled by your past Your eyes no longer no longer tell the world you love it The voice you have no longer speaks poetically Your breath used to manifest hope But now it manifests into the background noise of an average high school girl And this background noise seems to be on repeat You used to put pure emotion on paper But now its pure desperation What happened to the girl who used to stop her feet screaming **** the system Because all thats in front of me is a tip toeing girl afraid to make a sound You used to cry out songs But now your trying to bleed out a poison rooted in your veins You are no longer powerful Your head is no longer held high When did you trade your best friend for abuse? When did you trade poetry for drugs? *When did you trade in your self?
