Indestructible Bitch

Your twisted intentions shatter

Against my callused veins

And brick laid chambers

Petrified Tenderness

blood should soften, my granite core,

but minerals leach in steady rhythm

and toxicity is incurable, I am the source.

Guilty Heartache

An empty cell

Echoing memories

Love fossilized

The Stain

My heart a stain upon the street

Crushed beneath your hard cruel feet

I pray for gentle rain to wash away my pain

It's exhausting to remain reliable 

With a mind like a freeway

And a heart like a brick

You Hurt Me

Remember when I gave you my heart? You dropped it.

On the cold cement floor, considering your other options.

Retrieve it, now flinty and hardened. How dare you ask what's wrong.

he once poured cement

into the cracks of my crumbling character,

but it never cured.

Never shall it beat

Born from a faulty cast

It cracks and crumbles

Until time has claimed its toll
