POETRY

poetry i found and liked, or wrote. i'll color text grey if i wrote it.

"YOUR WORST SIN IS THAT
YOU HAVE DESTROYED
AND BETRAYED YOURSELF
FOR NOTHING."

"IS THERE NO WAY OUT OF THE MIND?"

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE
TO NOT HAVE DEEP EMOTIONS.
EVEN WHEN I FEEL NOTHING,
I FEEL IT COMPLETELY."

"IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE.
AND YET I CANNOT LET IT GO.
I CANNOT LET IT GO."

"I AVOID MY GAZE IN THE MIRROR;
I HAVE NO INTEREST IN LEARNING WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO MEET MY EYES."

I WANT HER TO SPLIT ME OPEN, TO DIG HER
FINGERS IN AND PRY OPEN MY RIBS, LICK MY HEART
AND MY BLOOD AND MY BONES. PICK OPEN MY
BONES AND SUCK OUT THE MARROW. I WANT TO BE
DEVOURED BY HER. AND SHE WANTS TO DEVOUR ME
JUST AS BADLY. IT'S IN EVERY LOOK, EVERY
MOVEMENT, EVERY SMILE.

"THERE ARE HEARTS THAT WON'T EVER HATE YOU,
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU HURT THEM."

"EAT OFF ME BABY
SKIN TO THE BONE
BODY ON BODY
UNTIL I'M ALL GONE BUT
I'M WITH YOU INSIDE."

"FORGIVE ME FATHER, FOR I HAVE SINNED.
AND AS I KNEEL HERE NOW; HANDS RED WITH BLOOD,
I KNOW DEEP DOWN, THAT I'll DO IT AGAIN."

"HE AND I ARE CLOSER THAN FRIENDS.
WE ARE ENEMIES LINKED TOGETHER.
THE SAME SIN BINDS US."
