Wrap me in archaic inertia.
Bubble wrap for my soul,
bruised and swollen,
kept in a bureau drawer
for so long, I have conformed
my deformities.
Manipulate me into a girl again.
| | N o l o n g e r | |
beat me beautiful
and lie me loved.
{{ I w i l l } }
create the magic I have never owned
and seek his pocket for
safe-keeping.
[ [ D o n ’ t b o t h e r t o ] ]
take away the sharp objects
I could use to carve
away the pulpy emotions
that starve me, shoving inhumane humanities
down my
throat.
It will only
make me ungrateful
for the spineless kindness of all your
insecurities but please ignore me
when I laugh
at you
As you fade away, turning fuzzy
near the outline of your skin
and blending into the nondescript.
You will fail to exist
now that I am gone.

It is a guilty pleasure of mine that I love poems like this one so much. The formatting was wonderful and I loved the font change. Lots of alliteration which seems to be getting more prevalent in your work and mine as well.
Thank you for writing this and for making me blood thirsty

P.S. I loved Spineless kndness
