a coat of iron
has blanketed my skin,
steel has sealed away my bones,
and my heart has been
filled with lead.

i am no longer
human.

i cannot feel, emotions bounce off
my armor as
if flies on a
window.

i am no longer
**in here.

the leaves
are changing and
my hands are bleeding
from trying to paint them
but i can't catch the beauty
and i think that's a living
metaphor for how much
i miss you.

a year today,
we split ways.

'i just need space'
'i need some time alone.'

a year ago today,
we had our last goodbye,
and i wish i would have
know you wouldnt
have tried

to keep in touch
to hold your words
to even be there

it scares me
that maybe you have forgotten
but the idea that haunts me
is that you remember
and just
*dont care.
last year on thanksgiving i broke up with the love of my life, because i didnt want my demons ruining his. a year has passed and we havent spoken in months.
and all in all, i miss him dearly.

because of you
i believed love was attainable,
and that i could be swept away.

but now i know it is as
realistic as that infernal glass slipper,

because everything,
like glass,
will *break.

I CANT DECIDE IF I WANT TO SPRINKLE YOUR FACE WITH KISSES OR TURN YOUR NECK BLUE
AND PURPLE LIKE THE COSMOS
WHEN I LOOK AT THE BEAUTY THAT IS YOUR EYES,
BUT EVERY TIME I DO MY BREATH IS STOLEN
AND MY KNEES GIVE WAY,
AND ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS WHY YOU
LEFT ME FOR GODS SAKE.
