[TW] Poem: One last life

Alexija August 15th, 2022

Trigger Warning [added by theriverissinging]: Graphic Descriptions, Gore-ish


Standing on a cliffs edge

The wind swoop by and steal my breath

Colours dancing over a morning sky

Fighting their will to linger and stray

Making the night sky turn to day

Piercing daggers in every inch of my skin

But all of them emerged from within

Invisible hands over my lips

Holding back

Censoring expression

The colours of the sky change to blue

And I remember

Everything I loved

Dry earth covered in rain

Beating hoves and smell of hay

A hug, a smile,

Consenting exiting promiscuous play

Trust

Blue turn to grey

Lies

Consent taken away

Faceless shadows

Bleeding wrists

Screams without end or want

Pain beyond reason

No rest at night or by day

Crushing weight

Yet weighless panic

Seeing nothing

Then

Quiet

Nothingness

Empty

As the day come to pass

And the storm dies down

I look to the sky a final time

Im lifted toward the stars of light

Future ending

A lonely stars final might
