Don’t look for love.
Be love.
i mistakened cowardice for bravery when I locked the door and tossed the keys. when I turned my heart to ice so the veins in my blood freeze
By Sara 3 years ago in Poets
when I traded disco lights for scented candles when my nights once spent spitting whiskey in your mouth turned into nights of cramming and more doses of caffeine
they said to build in silence so I built a brick wall around my soul. took a hammer nails between my teeth and fastended my chest closed.
to see the world through a plastic cover to watch people as though they are far away when you can touch them to see mouths turned up
I sent my ex The poem I wrote about him. Wait, no. We never dated. I like to call him that For my self preservation.
I found me Switchblade in my hands Red jagged lines on my thighs Pools of blood around my ankles. I promise I just wanted to feel something.
“I’d fuck her but I wouldn’t date her. “ I gave you all I had And never let you come back for more. You’ll spend your life trying to recapture it.
Have you ever been in the forest At sunset When the forest fairies Turn into forest monsters As the golden rays sink.
My world is limbs Because mine were never good enough for you So maybe if I spend all my time Running Lifting Puking
If a tree falls in the forest Does it make a sound If I scream in the night Does anybody listen. I’m hoarse. If I don’t remind the universe
You must remain my fantasy Because I can touch you better in my dreams. I do not want your hands all over me I simply want the burn of wanting
They follow me everywhere. To my thoughts and my words and my little feelings I want to pour black paint over. They chase me in the daylight
