Poems
Dec 2013
Cardboard Cutout
Take time in morning to breathe in ***** fumes,
Enough to assess damage and open new bottles,
Escape from collection of bruises marking paths
Along bodies and pull teeth from ****** lips with
Aching lungs. Push through it with music blasting in ears,
Rose petals littered with thorns and hate fueled words.
Shaking knees to breathe life to memories of night.
Sleeping forms scattered throughout, curled on floor
Here and there. Blood trails to burst noses and
yet another break up. Shivers running under skin,
Commence the search for clothes that is more than
Someone elseโs jacket and knickers dangerously close
To ripping. Piece together fractured moments
Leaving jagged edges on show, mental notes
To write each one down later, and display to all
Your state of mind.
