I cut myself about a week ago
And was genuinely surprised
To see it scar. Makes me want
To take a line off of the flesh.
Or two. Or three. Or four.
How far until I never come back?

I never have the effort
To finish anything but
Boys who take advantage
Of the stupors I put myself in.

Love...
so strange
beautiful
sometimes ugly
fills my heart

A lover who...
draws a line on intimacy
who accepts, but not fully
who makes me laugh
but slings an arrow
a tear drop falls

Love so fulfilling
but leaves me wanting

Bittersweet...
the heart yearns
for romance
and sighs in comfort

Always touched
in friendship
denied a lover's touch
of sensual promise and passion

Love...
So strange
beautiful
sometimes ugly

Fills my life

a love poem?
 Mar 2015 DC raw love

harsh words...

"you don't know
what you are talking about"

"shut up
no one wants to hear it"

"you're so stupid"

easily steals one's voice

harsh words
taken to heart

she may never find
her voice again*

The doodles of my mind
are
the beginning of...

an idea
or
a discovery of self
or
clarity of thought

whatever...
they are the beginning

real, but not
