unwords, unthoughts, unreason, unrhyme & unpoetry

caterpillars, cocoons & butterflies

Self Harm

Carving her name

Into your arm,

The blood weeps from

Your skin,

Showing her that

She is your world

And without her

You are sin.

 

Vandalise your nape

With pretend names

Like I’m stupid.

Foolish.

Tattoo her name in

Arabic on your clean

Dark skin, light heart

Scarred for life

In octopus ink.

 

Concentric circles

Burn your wrist,

Forgetting your chest.

Can’t let the fairer

Leave, prove your love

Blinding her mind,

Because actions speak

Louder than words.
