Pretty Broken Things

Pretty Broken Things In dreams I cut away a piece of your hurt chew it Bloody and raw Pain dripping from my chin Streams of salty warm copper The way hurt must taste. In dreams I stand beside you Shouldering the weight Impossible bags of wet sand Heavy like hurt must be. In dreams I piss out the fires Lit by the monsters that follow People like you Pretty broken things Born into golden houses One day Forgotten by the sun.

I like the rawness and it makes me want to read it more than once. Some pain will never go away it just doesn't hurt as much.
