lavender

Your blood flows like ink

And your words taste like *****

 

Each look makes me feel

as if I am stuck in a storm

of knives.

 

I don't need anyone to tell me I'll be okay.

Or that everything is just

fine.

 

And I certainly did not order a subscription

for your ********

 

The fly in my room reminds me

that all will be forgotten,

eventually.

Especially

you.

 

The bruises that decorate your pale skin,

greet me with a

"you were never mine",

yet,

I was always yours.

 

The flowers you picked for me sit

and decay,

much like

my kindness for you.

 

Another tooth falls out everyday.

Which I no longer care about,

Because no one ever listened in the first place.

 

Her obsession is eating you away,

you're simply

a cooked vegetable

now.

 

So this time,

 

close your eyes

 

when I go

 

to

 

hide.
