He pulled out a box after our first fight.
He told me I must fit inside.
I should have ran away that day,
but instead I offered him my wrist,
to begin the break down of my body parts.
My arm fractured easily and bent back on itself.
My femur took a lot of force,
but eventually it gave way,
and no longer did I stand.
My hips were cranked in opposite directions,
as if twisting apart an apple.
The crunch of the bone gears meshing together and apart
reverberated in my head.
The pain of that break sent me into a blackout.
When it came time for my spine,
he didn't have to touch a single vertebrate,
I shattered every single one,
just
for
you.

UN Strife
m i a Jan 2016
they come in the eve of night

or even up your sleeve at daylight,

they have one mission,

and one mission only.

To destroy, take, or darken your soul

for that's their deadly role.

they take the art from your eyes

and replace it with darkness from the skies,

you ask them why,

and they just sigh

oh they just sigh in evil sigh.

they dig into your flesh, until they find your soul

as soon as they finally find it

they rip out your soul

eat it whole

and you're dead.

they said

you're still breathing but just artistically dead.

you're still living, but at the same time you're not.

you're still alive, but at the same time you just died.

she cried, and cried.

she no longer saw colours dancing

on the canvas of her mind.

she no longer felt the music flow

through her veins,

she only felt blood and pain.

harmonies no longer came out of her

mouth

only doubt, cries, and 'Why!'s

to the innocent skies.

**she was still alive, but at the same time she just died.
this is how i would feel, if any form of art would no longer exist or taken away from me. <3

They grab a leg
and shake...
and shake.
They grab a arm,
because I don't-
feel the harm.
They grab my hair,
my fingers,
my toes,
my eyes,
my ears,
my heart,
my nose.
One by one
each piece goes.
Before I can breathe
they've stolen my breath.
They pick apart all I have,
and I ask,"is this death?"
Death so empty,
yet I feel peace when alone.
All those years I cried for someone,
but I feel so shaken;
so happy on my own.
Let my sharing freeze over,
that someday it plop and rot,
to see their grand expressions,
will they still care or will they not?
I've given all I have,
I've said goodbye to all I love.
They've looted me entirely,
do they yet have enough?

— The End —
