She sleeps
But gets no rest
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t look at them
The glass shatters
Cutting her open
Blood stains on the floor
She hides her eyes
So the real bruises
Can not be seen
Who lives in this body?
It does not belong
Whispers in the dark
Silent screams echo in her mind
The sword of darkness
Piercing the inner thread
Of all she once was
Only shattered pieces remain
She will hide underground
Hide from the world
Not daring to step outside
A touch frightens her
But oh how she longs
To have you hold her hand
She will see the light soon
Now only a distant memory
Lay here with her
Sleep in the darkness
Together
Until sunrise

This is tough to read huni, I’m so sorry you feel like this. I hear your desperation for soothing human contact and reassurance-I get like that too. Your writing is beautiful, I just wish you could be on the other side of this pain and feel free from it. At least you have my support from afar π x
