"I am haunted by humans" -The Book Thief


I'm just so afraid,
Something is telling me
I shouldn't be
But maybe one day
I fear you'll see me
As the person I see in my reflection
My self vision nailed into my mind

Someday you will see
My paper skin has holes
And dark light shines through
Someday you'll see
My cracked and dry heart and
You'll see inside my blurry head

You'll find creatures
Running miles through my veins
Someday the radiant color in my eyes
Will drain right before you
And will only leave behind two empty glass marbles

When you see my wires and stitches fall apart
You're perfect jaw will fall down faster than my stomach sinks whenever I think of you
And oh
Does that thought haunt me every day and every night

Another piece I saw on tumblr inspired this whole idea behind the poem. The way I am describing the narrater is on a deep metaphorical level.
