Death has enveloped me in its blanket,
Leaving me shattered from the inside,

My heart cut out from my body,
Stolen by a lover,
Hypnotized by his love-
I grieve feeling broken and in pain,
Wanting only to cut off from this world;
Disappearing, only by locking myself up in my own room,

Because, death has enveloped me in its blanket,
Leaving me shattered from the inside,

Now all I see is tears dripping down, merged by my blood,
Iron and salt mix-
As they trail down my arm,
Scars bleed,
Love unbearable,
He has left nothing to hope for!

It is the greatest act of courage
to remain soft in a world so rigid
Only the fiercest of us will
plunge into the depths of emotion
Illuminating even our darkest corners
for everyone to see
This is not weakness
This is vulnerability
And if love is the greatest
force in the universe
Then maybe strong is all
we ever have been
And all we ever could be
