This one i think is quite a bit better than the stuff i was doing 6 or 7 months ago. The ending needs work, but we'll see.... i'd also like to take the time to say that this is a true story!
I Remember:
constantly walking around
your feelings as
shattered glass on the floor
in bare feet
trying to
scoop you up always
ment shredded hands
but it's hard to walk
through a minefield of
shattered glass barefoot
I was bleeding either way
your feelings on
the floor spread and deepened
and surrounded me like
an ocean of
glass with the tide rising
towards me, but i'm
backed against the wall of a cliff
when your tide was out
i found a
cave that saved my
life
perfectly dark to shield
the intensely bright, ever-present
reflection
of all my flaws flashing
back at me
on leagues of your shattered glass
your tide always came back
quicker and fiercer than before
but i was prepared....
My love-cave hidden
but not the memory and
your glass reflected
perfectly
and i'm a bad liar
guilt led to compensation but
what
led to guilt?
it gets worse now the
diamonds i was wearing
turned to glass
as your fragile feelings
and cut me
all over again
from diamonds
to glass, from glass
to iron chains
so weighed down
with all you'd adorned me with
Neclace
choking my air tube so i couldnt breathe
Bracelets and Watches
slitting my wrists so i couldnt slow the blood
Rings
suffocating my fingers so i couldnt feel
from karats to cuffs
from a pedistol to a prizon
I still feel the weight of the chains you put around me
bleeding and broken
used
nothing to loose
life
to gain
no shoes could protect me from
sprinting over
your feelings
but i wore spikes anyway....
shattering as many pieces
as possible
as fast as possible
thinking of the world beyond my cave
a blind run
that took all night
And you chased me...
How dare you chase me
***THIS next part needs work***
I had no idea
when i'd run to saftey
people remembered me
helped me bandage
my feet
my hands
my wrists
my neck
my fingers
my eyes
my lips
my hair
my body...
shedding my skin to
A New Me
but did i shed more than just skin?
now all i have is
fear
"out of sight out of mind"
was my bandaged splinter
which in the dark
has festerd into a
deadly infection
Is there a cure?
