Ribbons and Ribs
You were a nightmare
in a fairy tale disguise
and my heart
heart
aches so hard
you
You were ribbons of blood tied
so tightly
twisted around around my heart
I didn't mind the least, I
distorted
rains as
It fractures across my face
cracks of nostalgia
placed by lightening storms
that crackle
across
my skin
With a slight
slapping
sting
I hate time, the way it speeds up
slows
down
and jerks
me around
It slaps me in the face
Cackling with a ferocity of time travel
rewind reverse velocity
Dragging me by a thought
thread
shatter the light with
explosive
hammering in my eyelids
My atmosphere darkly
clouded
by
lowly haunt clouds
My heart rumbled thunder in my chest
my eyes swelled stormy
crashing down with foamed black water
I
I struggle to breathe with the crushing
promise broken
ribs
that cage my lungs
Your cold
spiny fingers
clutch
my heart
as it
beats
your fingernails needle poison
into
my veins
stopping blood flow once again
In your sick twisted play-time
my eyes witness
my veins
pulse
black
you
you squeeze completing the crime
blood covers your hands
you wash them clean
they are stained
blood blue
ribs splinter
your fingertips
the moon will pull
the
tide
to wash me into the sea.
