monsters are only meant to exist in fiction.

broken things are beautiful;

you'd think once i realized that, i'd consider myself beautiful, but i still don't.



i don't know how i got here, but i woke up on this cold wood floor, feeling the stinging it caused against my burning skin. i counted the pieces of me to see how many had shattered this time. i can't remember exactly when i lost count, but i felt that the number exceeded the standards set by the term 'broken', if there were any at that point.


i could feel the fire slithering from my veins, slowly inviting the frost in to sleep between the cracks of my shield, adding more along with them. i wonder if he'll ever miss the sparkle in my eyes or the gentle flush my cheeks developed when he made me laugh, because they're not here anymore, either.


i could hear the steady rythm of my heart beating in every part of my body and realized that he didn't physically have my heart, but instead he was the only reason it was even put there to begin with.

    There's so much emotion in this and you're really amazing at writing it out. This is so sad but beautiful.



    "broken things are beautiful;

    you'd think once i realized that, i'd consider myself beautiful, but i still don't."

    ^^^^That's amazing and so true. I can relate to that so much. I only see other broken people or things as being beautiful. I look at myself and just consider the right words to be "fucked up".



    "i wonder if he'll ever miss the sparkle in my eyes or the gentle flush my cheeks developed when he made me laugh, because they're not here anymore, either."

    ^^^^^^Those lines really pulled at my heart. I think they might have the most emotion in them out of all of the lines here.



    I love the imagery and descriptions, they're just wonderful hun.

    This whole poem is gorgeous. I love it.

      that's exactly what i meant by the broken part. i try to find something beautiful about myself, but i always end up finding more flaws than i did to begin with.


      that part about the sparkle in my eyes, it's about harley. i feel even more numb after this whole situation with him right now, but somehow, i know things have to get better.
