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.
