Color That Kills



Red nails
Tap Tap Tapping
on the counter-
impatient
waiting
for a peace of mind.

Red lips
stain the cigarette I am
Puff Puff Puffing
for a sense  of normalcy.

Red blood
Drip Drip Dripping
down my arm-
staining the bathroom tiles,
marking where I lost my control-
where I lost my mind.

Red sky
sun setting.
Another day lost-
another mind broken.

Surviving Without You

I'll sob and cry my heart out, drowning my sorrows in a gallon of ice-cream. But then I'll stand back up, wipe the tears from my face, put a bandaid over my heart, and move on with my life. You won't be the death of me, because you're not that special. I'll be okay without you.
