My pain has eaten me away Left nothing but the bone I’m sat out for the dogs Nothing but wasted space Untouched and unable to feel My mind and body are numb I want to blame it on you But its not you It’s the constant reminders The fleshy, pink, angered scars It’s her and her family It’s them and their drama It’s me and my pinned shut mouth My weakness and my strength As I sit here with a dream in my heart And a promise that I stand on. © Lost in tears Form: Blank Verse Tag: Viewed 188 Times ( 1 today )

Ericka, your words of sorrow add another brake to my heart. I promise you poems like this will be nonexistant one day, and the light will shine in your pretty little face. Dont stop believing! Love Sarah
