We want people
to love us in ways
that we don't love
ourselves.

And even when they
try,

It still isn't the love
we've been lacking
or longing for
What's the real state
of the human heart?
cruel or kind?
soft or hard?

They say scars are ugly.
They tell us to cover it up as if it's shameful to have one.
But scars are proof that we overcame a battle,
And though we had been wounded,
We survived.

The stories behind scars proved that
We did not stay in ruins after chaos.
We got up and started to build an upgraded version of ourselves.
And those scars are reminders that
We can grow stronger throughout our journey.

Each scar deserves a place in this life.
So we can look back at it
As if one looks at a masterpiece displayed in the finest museum.

Holy Sin

I want to be
The holy sin
Across your unmade bed
Tangled sheets,
Under hidden skies

Forbidden moments of synchronicity
Exchanged between us
And your heaven-like lips

A devilish prayer
With god in our moans

*While your hands say **** religion

I had never seen eyes that were glaciers
The act upon you as those icy giants do
Slowly as it moves, you realize
Crept up on you, surrounding you
Leg trapped, it is a patient freeze
Consumes, crushes, kills
Does not buy happiness,
It gives you a moment of euphoria,
But it does not fill the empty void in your heart.
It is the key to salvation,
Without wealth, you are nothing.

The sea,
an eternity of sapphires
topped with glittering diamonds
that roll and rustle and shush
against each other,
cresting into the shore
with eager greeting.

Underneath
I can be the center of attention
But be absent.
Emotionless.
Empty.
All I am is a husk.
But no one knows.
I'm good at make believe.
Hiding my emotions
So that when,
Not if, when,
They leave
No one is the wiser.
And no one cares
About my absence.

eileen
you were the oxygen
i needed
the four walls i felt comfortable in

now you are very far away
strangers sleep in you instead
