Heat

16+ warning

Heat
Condensed into stinging welts
Clenching muscles under too-hot bed sheets
Tears tugged out of reluctant eye corners

A mantra of belief
Whispered under ragged breath
Knowing it will be better tomorrow
That the sun will make everything look prettier

The ugly scars,
Marring otherwise perfect skin
A means of expressing what you cannot in words
I'm scared
I'm hurt
I'm lonely
And i need someone

Anyone
Now
Before I make a mistake
I'll never forgive

But you're alright
And even if it kills you,
That's the story you'll stick to
Because no matter go much you want
Ache, long, despair
You know that you don't deserve to be saved

You're the girl down the street
The average, the overlooked
And you have no ambition

Floating
On air, on pain
An endured high of your own making
Because this proves you're still alive
And they haven't quite killed you yet.

I'm sable; cute, not-so-cuddly, and liable to rip your heart out.

Scars

Why does it matter if I have scars on my body. Why does it matter if I refuse to hide my scars in shame. Why does it matter to you. It's my life. I am who I am.

Self Destruction

I'm in too deep to be reached this time, don't wade in to save me, you may drown in the river of my blood which is dripping from my wrists and trip over the fragments of my heart.

Cold.

My sleeves are stained red,. And I'm drowning in my head,. The river's burst and flowing,. What was hidden is now showing,. There are pathways on my skin,. Leading down to what's within,.

She

She cuts a little deeper, she really loves the sting. Watches as the blood flows, dark red soon fills her sink. Her only wish is for those she loves to forgive her for her sins.

It Starts

It begins with the anger, It turns into sadness, It comes out in tears, Then swells up in redness. The two marks, So simple so sly, There red and there sitting, Right there on your thigh.

Can anyone make sense of me right now. The whole world is spinning, my head is spinning, my thoughts are spinning. I can't get my bearings. Sometimes I get these brilliant thoughts.

Maybe..

Broken promises of a better day to come. We strive to go on lonelier than ever before. Thinking of those memories that cut like knives, we soon turn to things that can take our lives, but does it do.
