A smile
That was all it took for me to realize that I was absolutely screwed
A laugh
Deeper, deeper
A touch
That was it
I knew that I was taken
It was like a car crash
It hit me hard and I flew out of the seat
I felt weightless, we were flying
But you always have to hit the ground
The ground is gravel
Scratching at my skin
Drawing blood and leaving scars
It’s funny though
How I cherish those scars
I look at them, and as my fingers glide over the ruined and pale skin
I feel happy again for a moment
Realizing what we used to have
Permanent reminders of what was the greatest time in my life
But it always comes to and end, and I’m tossed back into my
Reality
Misery
Sadness
Why did you think it was okay?
You threw me away
Not thinking about any consequence
And now here I am, just like trash
Rotting away and growing into the earth
Turning into a flower
But even flowers wither and die
