Stray Papers

#VocalNPM

By Alisha SchofieldPublished 7 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

Stray joint papers that never got rolled

Take out that was left out in the cold

Mixed feelings at this empty sight

Stirring in the emotions of- a fight?

A mark of blue in the skin like art

The sight weighing heavily on my heart

Was it the picture? The inability to have control?

That allowed you to throw me out in the cold

Perhaps my dress that's "a bit too short"

Or is it that i won't cavort

To your control that is,

he wants a girl that's only his.

If only I could prove that a piece of clothes

Doesn't impact what another boy knows.

I have a heart for one boy only

Who just can't see past his own glory.

Perspective is a deceitful thing;

Whats art to one. brings disgust to another. not caring about the pain it does bring

Am I horrible for wanting to be me?

Or am I letting him destroy my mentality.

These painful internal scars are running deeper as the days become steeper

As they grow deep i'm losing my happiness I cling to so dearly to keep.

My thoughts, your words are deteriorating my heart.

Like you yourself say all that she needed was love from the start.
