The Door

Red doesn’t scare me my own blood is welcome it means I am ending and I want that with all my heart I used to be a woman who kissed and loved so big, so expansive… I danced with everything But now, tides have turned gone is that human being the woman who blended with seaweed and water’s foam I walk the streets now in search of a place to become something else that isn’t what I was This isn’t part of a life it’s a different thing entirely I don’t even want it Once I was love’s essence and now, I am the exposed flesh of life. the waters of me run red now the core is gone only edges are left and I can’t look at this So, I’m on my way out the door I hope those people will be there Never perfect, I can only be me and I will take it upon myself to go and not come back
