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
