Someday I Will Love Lucia Ferris

after Rader/Schwartz/Vuong/Reeves/O’Hara oh lucia. if only there were someone who loved you. and not the version of yourself you know they want to see but the you that you have locked in your mind you want the connection without the commitment because i love you is a promise that you can’t keep. so let it go the truth can set you free the void is wider than you could ever know breathe in the fresh air reflect upon yourself. ask why something about you refuses to give up tearing ribbons into shreds, marring the smooth facade with evidence of your broken pieces theres no hiding it now do you want to be happy? do you want to get better or do you just want to be gone? tether your temporary form to the solid ground nothing ever lasts forever claw at the dirt until your fingernails are bloodied and fall into the same earth that will hold your corpse you cannot wait to die because you are scared to live in a place that holds no love for you you are nothing special but some people have made you their world so it’s too late to push them away before they can care. scars are like tattoos everyone sees them but no one knows the meaning behind their marks

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
