Heart on a String

[9/19/17]

tw: self harm

I pull my heart on a string

Not knowing what tomorrow will bring

Because come morning birds will sing

Sitting alone held up by a string

My heart drops and drips

Falls on dead lips

Leaks through my skins' rips

Sitting alone it drips

Even when the sky shows gray

I know I will be okay

On a bed of flowers I lay

Colors spotted in all but gray

And I will get better

To myself in the future I write a letter

For when my face stops getting wetter

The day I push myself and let her

Get better
