I pour my sorrow into words
My pain into paragraphs
My blood bubbles
between layers of skin
My tears
cascading down
bright red cheeks
But, just a glance at the screen
And
I feel boulders
lift from
these tired,
slumping shoulders
Her words are so sweet
Innocent and pure
She wishes faeries
and flowers
and sunshine
galore
My cynicism softens
My hard shell bypassed
Tears stop
Blood clots
I remember
that there is still
brightness
love
positivity
and faerietales.
And life, I can suddenly bear.

I pour my sorrow into words
My pain into paragraphs
My blood bubbles
between layers of skin
My tears
cascading down
bright red cheeks
But, just a glance at the screen
And
I feel boulders
lift from
these tired,
slumping shoulders
Her words are so sweet
Innocent and pure
She wishes faeries
and flowers
and sunshine
galore
My cynicism softens
My hard shell bypassed
Tears stop
Blood clots
I remember
that there is still
brightness
love
positivity
and faerietales.
And life, I can suddenly bear.
For Marian.
