The Map of Her Skin
The scars on her wrist
Whisper           Secrets
Of                      When

Her Reflection
Showed a Monster
Clawing to Escape

Her eyes saw
Shadows Dancing
Fire Behind Lids

Tears fall down
Her Hollow Face
leaving dewy trails
In their wake

Doctors left to
Pick        Up
Her
     A            
         Broken
Shell-of         A-girl

Take a breath
They    said
Hold    it in
Release, release

Let            Go
It seems so simple
A Laughable cure

Time Heals
All Wounds
This Clock   Stopped
Ticking

Time
For this Girl
To treat Herself
Find her    Own Method

Fill    the    Empty
Block the   Hole
With
Anything you Find

Stuff it in
Shove it in
Try it all

A
Deadly Concoction
A    Welcome SIN

Blood from lifeless skin
Water from empty eyes
Oil from burning heart

Light the Match
Let go
L..e..t

Fire Burn
Burn  Burn
Her   soul

A Welcome distraction
Away            from
The               Gaping Hole

Gnawing at
Her               Insides

Tasting
Her               Despair

Stop!!!
She               SCREAMS

Caving         In
Succumbed to Begin
The
Breaking

Of   Flawless   Skin
Give her peace
For  ONE Day
Let her feel
Sane
