Fragile; Broken.

Fragile; she stood there.
Broken; she hid the scars.

Green eyes gleam from beneath blonde curls
dirty strands flitting across a smeared face
oil stained; translucent skin glows
Bones poking from her naked body.

Fragile; she stands in shame.
Broken; she hides the memories.

Huddled against her ribs
Merely a toothpick for prey
She watches for the movement in you
she waits for you to save her
Her filthy fingers circling her hip
her nails scratching away his scent

Fragile; she will stand in wait.
Broken; she will hide her need.

Forgotten amongst the wilderness
A corpse lays against the foot of some branches
mouth agape and naked.
Her eyes remain open; her green eyes killed.
a dead stare at the sky
still watching as every dream takes off without her
leaving her scummed limbs to wrap around her knees.

Fragile; she remained hopeful.
Broken; she kept on hiding.

Broken Guarded

Deceivingly strong hands
so soft
so graceful
capable of destruction

t e a r i n g my soul apart
y a n k i n g me from the seams
t y i n g me in knots

seductively unravelling
every hidden [guarded]
belief

sending me into a dive
losing control
on a wave of emotion.

tears fall.. your eyes
piecing me back together
throwing me a lifeline
collecting my debris
your sentiments becoming my glue

yet still...

I step uncertainly
not knowing
not wanting to know
what comes next

shards of everything
[I once knew]
poking through my skin
protecting me [guarding]
from all that has yet to come

Mismatching fragments
rebuilt
with matching figments
lopsided with concern
crippled with fear.

s i l e n t l y
I transform
yielding to extremes
too fragile
too strong
too hurt
too confident


[too broken]
