waves of lines caress the wall dripping until they leave a trail that looks like tears the blood’s fallen from his fingers for the final time figurines smashed to smithereens and i’m at a loss for words i’ve always been told i have a knack for eloquence but when he walked up to me with his wrists the shade of my favorite lipstick and said "finally my veins can feel the air” all i could say was “what a mess you’ve made” i cleaned him up again and packed him up for the house again but i pray and hope and wish that they can help him more than i ever could i love him to bits but this love is breaking me apart.
