Untitled

Be careful little one You have the frozen globe of existence at your Fingertips Marking Tracing Melting  oh so slowly much too fast Diligently your dead eyes glance gracefully into infinite bright spotlights Your fragile razor-edged smile’s tearing the corners of your lips Insecurely holding yourself excruciatingly precise Marking repugnant lines down your too young face Spine’s held ram-rod straight pretending to keep your world afloat on a Butterflies listless fluttering wings The tiniest misstep reverberating inside your hollowed breastbone In.. In… In…. Inconspicuous Comparable in the manner of a lamp bumping the floor two houses up Breath hitched tattooed pulse brings life to your porcelain pores Tip-toeing on egg-shells of yearning aspiration Flinching at the cold intangible fear that’s grabbed your hand Makes you come to life a stones throw too freedom Diamonds ruthlessly rip into soles and bloody toes imprisoned in silk Wine stained lips sneer at rows of red velvet They grasp everything you've strove for, they are the power Passion, adrenaline, up most urgency sweeping you away The most elegant anguish rushes out forming awestruck wild abandon Waiting your whole life for this moment boiling down to now Day after day year after year Pupils blown wide it’s do or die spread your arms and take your bow Self-loathing narcissist You only dance as if the the sky is falling when you feel all is beyond repair Never have you been more beautiful
