Fragments

He revolved around her like a satellite to the earth. As if her absence would leave him spinning into an  abysmal void of darkness, shinning his beacon with revolution of her presence. How unfortunate he was already the moon to another woman.

Be the one

You can not see them
 Lingering far beneath the surface 
But their presence in known
 Raging quietly in the depths
Scars never formed
The deepest cuts bleed on

Ruptured aneurisms of the soul
 Bleèding into infinity 
Silent, deadly.

Look up as you walk through that crowd
 Who is bleeding next you?
In the stillness of night
 When they lay in darkness alone
Is their soul bleeding out?

Predators smell them from miles away
 Flocking to the easy prey.
Piece by piece their will widdles away.
 Never knowing the beauty that lies deep within.
Pain becomes solace.

Numbness. 
 Hiding behind smiling masks.
Everything is fine.
 Until the bleed becomes a river .
Drowning in the waste of a misfortunate life.

Some scough, all judge, a few cry.
 Why?
It only takes one.
 One real love, one true heart, one real smile
It only takes one love to heal a soul.
 
Take off the mask.
 Be your own one.

Just be you

Why must the caterpillar crawl into a cocoon to become a butterfly? Because to find your true beauty you must first find yourself not who the world tells you to be.Once you know who you are the whole world will see the true beauty you hide inside.

Dream

If there should ever come a time you wonder if I'm okay close your eyes and remember I'm only a dream away.

Beautiful disaster

She loved him 
Not be because he was broken
But in spite of it. 
His pieces gave her purpose.
His disaster, her salvation.
But his edges were fragments
Sharp corners of reality 
Designed to destroy. 
Time , she thought, would soften the edges
Love would mend the pieces into whole.
But the pieces cut her open
With each mend, her heart became torn.
She thought she was healing him 
Until the  day he was gone 
she could find herself no more.
