You tell yourself, you're nobody's saviour. But you handed out all the tissues when there's tears in your own eyes. 📷 via @bebeautifulla #Writing #Poetry #InstaPoetry #Dzyadzorm #ButterflaeEffect #BE

I had never known dawn to be afraid of morning Never known skin that ached for a darkness to blend in. I had been unfamiliar with words that begged to be swallowed My tears had never owed my face a place to wallow in. I had never prayed for death Never debated my existence nor cursed the present that gifted me with breath. I had never likened a heart to stone Never considered how much blood could slither between flesh and bone. My heart was heavy I had never known weight; the kind that burdens happiness with unpaid levies. I had never been afraid to write Never found shame in the narrations of my plight. There's a thin line between anger and contempt I had never had reason to understand the difference. I did not want to know how a body could stand being so broken I was a closed book but by my cover, I remained wide open. You could read burnt hope from my face unsmiling There were sentences under my eyes screaming the comfort in my bed was retiring. Desire was a sister and laughter, a friend And with each step the boy I loved walked away, I did not know these bonds slowly would end. I had never known innocence to rival maturity Choosing right over wrong was evidence of naivety. I had never tucked skin to my sides to have my stomach look slimmer Never owned eye liners, concealers or any other essentials I had never needed to feel prettier. I had never known stillness to mock when motions leave you lonely Never known silence to talk, spewing emptiness at you only. But the boy I love left and my cry to stay he did not heed Bringing strongly into life, a world of things I did not know nor need. - The Things He Left Me With [Part One] #Love #Heartbreak #Relationships #Writing #AmWriting #Poetry #InstaPoetry #ButterflaeEffect #BE #Dzyadzorm #TalesOfEVA
