he told me I could be anything I wanted to be / but just when I began to spread my ink across the page we once called home / he walked away

I am almost here
I can feel the edge of you
I can hear the cut of me
and somewhere
between safe and sound
the melody is broken
#micropoetry
I could have had mercy
but I was afraid
so I killed you
with a watercolor stain
that's what fear does
it paints us all as villains
#poem
the slow drip of silence
drowning dreams
reviving the unborn
blessing the misfit
we are all pure
beneath the rust

they tell her to hush
to replace her anger with softness
her resentment with a smile
she is more than a shell
she is poetry
#micropoetry
she scribbles
love letters to moments
she'll never remember
because hope is an illusion
and dreams are only for the brave

shards of fear that bind the believer
to hope
what is your rope

raw lines that blind the broken
and poems that are no more than a token
of insincerity
learn to read
or run

silence has become my cover
yet I am still at war
with wounds that wear me
and moons that dare me into the night
I will fight

how much?
she whispers
enough,
he replies.
there is tenderness in even the ugliest of answers.
