Violet ribbons
tied across
rosy red cheeks
Isee...
You smile
white teeth shining
as a crystal clear
drop of tear
crosses over the
ribbon & down
your salty dry
mouth

Sinking inside
is the beautiful lie
you're repeating
in your head
Yousee...
the slashes of
bright red imprinted
right beneath
the surface
pain swells
Isee...
your posture
abide you
a little ounce
of time
Framed
in the back
of your mind
Yousee...
backbone split
opening wings
Isee...
egale stance
& stories turned
back onto
the one
who needed
it all along
disappear
the mirrors
GONE

Ashes left ashes
it's all you'd ever
see in the
back of standing
on 2 feet
