you were my safety
your whirlpool eyes
forever pulling me
back in
your ******* always wet
with my tears
your hands always
in my hair
twirling braids and
pinning barrettes
you arms always
draped around my
shoulders,
absorbing all the hurt.
my only solace
in a lifetime of darkness,
the only one
i'd allow my heart to love
in all it's fragileness,
the body that birthed me
it is only fitting
that you would be
the final break before
the shatter

forever pulling me

my only solace
in a lifetime of darkness,
the only one
i'd allow my heart to love
in all it's fragileness,
the body that birthed me
it is only fitting
that you would be
the final break before
the shatter
