CW: abuse
Later,
I stare at the silent night before me
—I wait as my tears dry
and my bones mend themselves
I know—past the shaking and
the cold seeping in my skin—
the trauma will come laterHow I spend my days tiptoeing
around creaking floorboards
because one misstep will awaken
the beast that will devour my soul
night and day, telling me it's my fault
I know—past the trenches I dig
just to escape—my doom will come
laterI have to go
—I know I do—
but the smile and warmth
of this house brings me
is something I cannot find
in the harsh world outside
I have nowhere to go
—I know I do—
I am hideous to look at
because of the scars I bear
I know—past the candles slowly dying
and the fireplace filling with ashes—
the cold will come laterHow spend my while
crying to myself to sleep
and the tinkling shards
of my own broken heart
cutting my palms open
I let my blood stain
the unwashable sheets
—memory serves me best
as it refuse to let go of the hurt
and the bad times spent
I know—past the masked smile
and the life I'm trying so hard to lead
—death will come later

an adjournment of scars, an endearment of stitches
