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
This Soul
gravel, stone, tar, bone-
All are softer than the
soul i own
It's exhausting to remain reliable
With a mind like a freeway
And a heart like a brick
Forever Free
soft words warm breath
gentle touch sweet caress
hardened heart forever free
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.
chiseled
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
