April 2016.

I think too highly of people. I create worlds for them,

weave them webs.

Then carefully place food down to nourish them.

I pet their hair and kiss foreheads goodnight.

I pull down stars and I protect with every fiber of my being.

I stand strong when they lash out, I hold their arms as they slice my chest open.

I stare into eyes that glaze over to keep me out.

I speak truths,

I

reinvented

time

For You.

To repay me your mouth on her mouth and a fire fades,

it rebuilds itself into something greater as I toss my ego inside.

I kicked down every single fucking wall to find you hiding,

whispering lies and you still come inside me.

I light a handful of candles to guide the truth to me.

You are everything you promised not to be.

Shaking in my stomach, and my blood is poison.

That I will purge from my wrists to fucking drown you in.

Trust broken is only earned back.

My watch is no longer yours to use,

stuck in time.
