Submissions by Milcah

Haunted, hurt and afraid,
Tattered and torn,
Pretty delicate perfect wings?
Shredded, wasted and worn,

Eyes yet so innocent,
A face painted red,
Reveal to me your hidden expression,
Speak now before you're dead,

Abstract in so many ways,
I hopelessly try to read you,
Words, letters even numbers,
Pleading for the faintest clue,

Sing to me your song,
Scream your last wishes,
Whisper all your dreams,
And secret kisses,

Stained feathers,
A tired heart,
Weakened by the second,
With tearful eyes I watch...

Tissues and more blood,
A blurry vision,
Beautiful diamonds appear in my flesh,
And red, red warmth down my legs,

My heart is not beating,
Its stabbing,
My lungs are not breathing,
They're gasping,

My eyes are scared,
And my mind is not here,
My flesh is open,
And you are all I see,

The bath is crimson,
The porcelain is tinted,
Its shiny, its pretty,
But still, you left me to believe I'm nothing more than ugly,
