This pain isn't pretty
eyes swollen by
midnights punch of grief
scarred arms at a
loss for words when
they have mistaken roses
for a bleeding mouth.
this is not beauty
this is not beauty
arms worn out
and tired looking
into the mirror with
no sleep hanging
onto the cold side
of the pillow
mascara bleeds out
staining in streams
of black lines
pain accompanies
loneliness in these hours
of the giving up hour.
this is not beauty.
this is not beauty.
the blade of relief
cannot keep you in the tides.
Wandering. mourning in sheets
of disturbed thought
i cannot break away
from clenching teeth
and salty tears.
