Her blood is engraved into these pages

Slowly unraveling the truth

Exposing every flaw in perfection

Every short-lived high

Every precocious low

Has driven the knife deeper into her lingering past

They told me that time would heal the wounds,

But they couldn’t have been more wrong.

No matter how many years pass,

Time does not heal.

Time buries baggage until you forget,

We were rising.

Like twin flames,

Dancing in the darkness,

Spreading warmth to the stars.

In my mind,

You were a star,

Radiating your astronomical light onto me.

“You don’t strike me as the kind of person to have depression,”

“That’s because I pretend,”

“Oh.”

“Writing is my coping mechanism, and without it I’m literally a mess,”

Everything’s blurry 

But I can’t stop writing 

If I take my pen off the paper I’ll break, 

I’ll shatter

I stop writing my heart will bleed rivers of words,

Words I can never say aloud

It’s been so long

Since I’ve seen your face

That I’m starting to forget

The color of your eyes

And the way you smile

But I’ll always remember

The way you cared
