Crystal

Catalyst for change; a long dormant dream that wills its way into a nonexistent reality

 

Rend your bonds; with all the strength in your calloused hands that used to mold with mine

 

Yearning for freedom; from fear, from pain, from the crystalline core that shreds your lungs every time you breathe and scatters diamond dust down your veins

 

Sinking too fast; **** the natural death that weighs you down and drags you through an ocean of tears

 

Take your time; the gaping hollow in your chest should not become a magpie’s hovel, filled with a glittering assortment of the finest refuse

 

Argumentative at best; facing a broken mirror and finding the barrel of a gun

 

Languish is for the weak; your hands are claws and your teeth are knives. Cut the diamonds from your veins and spill yourself on the world.
