against the wall
you feel my heart beat;
pulse,
pound
under tight-locked ribs,
they hold me together
while youre holding me down.
my body is
a cage of splintered, broken bones
from which i can not escape.
blood boiling
under your touch;
burning
where your fingers graze my skin.
unmistakeably
i hear my name,
dripping
like acid from your tongue.
trickling slowly
down the length of my spine,
until there is nothing left.
you release me.
i fall to the ground,
unaware
of whether my lungs have collapsed
or simply burst.
your eyes move over my body,
a whisper;
far too familiar.
your lips twitch,
words that echo in my hea
advice from your best friend. by skinunderneath, literature
Literature
advice from your best friend.
never did believe
in fairy tales,
knights in shining armour
didnt seem
worth wating for.
i settled for a loser
wrapped in tinfoil.
luckily, its not my
ever after
anymore.
blood on your hands. by skinunderneath, literature
Literature
blood on your hands.
theres a killer
in your eyes,
i know you feel it.
blood boils
in your veins,
but it runs cold.
youre selfish
with a million excuses,
every one of which
is growing old.
they said it was
an accident,
you called it your mistake.
i hope you cant forget this now,
her life was never yours
to take.
you tried to leave her there.
they wouldnt let you run away.
too young,
defenceless.
young and fucking senseless,
you watched her die.
did it sober you
to see her body writhing,
twisted with a pain
that was all yours?
every day
i hope it hurts
like hell,
stops your breathing
just like you deserve.
what was it,
i was bruised,
but im not broken.
rape kills
but it cant have me.
im not yours.
you cant have
my body
or my blood,
im taking it all back.
how does it feel
to be
powerless?
against the wall
you feel my heart beat;
pulse,
pound

what was it,
I want you
in the dark
watching
stars
fall
not balancing
the distance
between
another arm's
embrace
I want you
on the hard ground
in the middle
of the lake
my hips' width
pressed
against your
length
[our sitting
setting
center stage]
I want you
in so many appropriate
inappropriate
ways
I
can't
help
I want us
all
entangled limbs
lost (in) ourselves
