Untouched

A welted flower picked and tossed aside unnoticed and to the earth it soaks in.

My traces and finger prints left behind A name spoken so delicate, A replay of broken words said twice and over again. 

tired excuses follow the depths of cold finger tips and the Beauty hidden behind the fear and path of such destruction.

Thank you so much for your kind words, writing is something I never thought in a million years I would be doing. I started writing for a way to get my emotions figured out, I don't talk to people about my battles I fight... So this is my way of talking it out I guess. I don't really think I'm a poet or a good writer .... But I write for myself and wanted somewhere to keep my writings.
