Tonight will be the coldest night.
I’m here alone.
Without you.
Without the worn- out thoughts of you.
I only hear the sound of the snow
On the window.
And the sound of your voice.
I remember exactly how it felt to hug you.
You always pulled me in the smallest bit,
And you would hug me even closer if I had
Tears in my eyes that day.
I’m going to miss feeling you there with me.
I’ll miss knowing that you used to be
Always there for me.
I took a shower tonight.
I felt so dirty because you are gone.
I scrubbed for what felt like forever.
I was trying to wash away your presence.
But one thing I could not wash away,
Was your scars.
Yes, thats right.
These scars on my arms...
Are your’s,
You were the one who put them there,
You never even knew what you did to me.
So I scrubbed and scrubbed until my arms
Turned bright red,
Nearly bleeding,
Until I realized that they weren’t going to
Go away.
I also shaved away the part of you
That lingered with me.
I held the razor so firmly,
I held it so close.
But I accidentally cut my knee,
And the blood wouldn’t stop.
So I stepped out of the shower,
And sat myself down.
The blood rushed out of my knee,
And gingerly I dabbed my finger in it,
and wrote your name
Down my leg,
Hoping it would never fade
Away.
Staring at my leg,
I admired my work,
Yes, thats where he belongs.
His name is written in blood.
Too bad I couldn’t have written it where
It wouldn’t completely
Disappear.
The bloody letters will disappear
Just like your memory will.
I might hurt and sting right now,
But its your turn next.
You will be the broken one next time,
And You will wonder why you ever
Let me go.
Author notes
I had a spur of the moment thought. I needed to write it down. I'm sorry for all of you who know me who might find this a little scary, but don't worry. I'm .f.i.n.e. And this didn't really happen. Atleast the bloody name written on my leg.
Loves as always.
