You will meet a boy and the color of his eyes will remind you of poetry.* I loved him, purely, and unconditionally But there’s nothing beautiful about the bruises his hands left Or the acid in his voice that singed my temples . There’s nothing beautiful about self destruction There’s nothing beautiful about sleepless nights just to make your body experience deprivation There's nothing beautiful about the stomach full of pills that replaced the well balanced meal There's nothing beautiful about loving a narcissist. I used to be okay with the seemingly never-ending pain of loving someone who couldn't reciprocate I was no better than a kicked dog Limping back with my tail between my legs, seeking a gentle touch I spit idea of you out and the aftertaste was just as bad You were a cascade of of destruction and i was a thrill seeker
