Shatter

Shatter me The aching, hollow pain that carves out the very essence of my heart burns through my veins, filling this fleshy vessel of mine A mystery that is as obvious as the crimson of raw blood Bigger than just a muscle tucked away behind my ribs Working away innocently, never stopping even when I want it to Pumping blood through my veins along with poisonous feelings and pain That lits up, a lonely lantern on a gloomy, dark street as soon as the slightest ray of your essence begins to peer in through this stormy tumultuous night I inhale your presence, basking in it’s warm light Like a selfish, cold blooded reptile that devours each hopeful ray of light I let it shatter my glass bones, my fingertips, my heart This is the answer to my pleas I let it drown me with my blood Letting the warm, metallic liquid seep through me like paper Breaking my bones and my soul Embracing it like a painful serenade A sombre sonnet, a gift that I present myself that bestows my humanity upon me like a crown of blackthorns Cursed forevermore my own tragedy that I bestow upon myself time and time again that shatters me inside and out
