Awaiting Your Arrival


Dark hair sticks to her cheek bones
Sapphire eyes gleam & glare
Blue lips change to purple
She is a cracked skeleton 
Twisted and bent
Stepped on and broken
Watch her as she falls
And tries to get up
Push her down again
Stuck inside the crevice 
of her own deteriorating mind 
Squint and stare past them
They can see all of your cracks
So you rip off the ugly pieces
And toss them in the fire 
Hands up and voice loud
Let em' yell n' scream 
Their words pierce you 
Arrows aimed at the heart
Hit, strike, down you fall 
Shatter, crumble. collapse 
Hit the jagged rocks 
Disturbed mind implodes
Distant cries evoke 
emotion from a dead soul
Run in the opposite direction 
Away from judgement and hate
You will find me on the street 
Waiting patiently for your arrival.
