Forever
Forever
I am broken.
and after stitching
wounds, once open
scar over, numbing
painkillers wear off
a wave is coming
up my dry throat, cough-
-ing blood, blaming
everyone
and
everything
red stains their shirt
once so loving
I am hurt
can’t stand forgiving
they must ache
I crave their pain
it must hurt
my nasty stain,
a beautiful token
to what they’ve broken
unwanted
yet forever haunted.
my crying blood
echoes through my veins
your scars flood
through my remains
my skin is glass
torn and shattered
thrown beneath the underpass
and where it scatters
I’ll make sure
the ripple is a warning
sign to all of your
merciless scorning.
bloody fingers from
sewing new skin
again numb
my chin
quivering.
there’s nothing left.
tears drying
a heavy chest
while you yawn
your voice I’ll hear,
you move on
I stay here
forever
and ever
with nothing to
blame.
