life

470 66 62
                                    

his knuckles are stained with my fluids of life
his laughter is sprinkled with viciousness
his smile ever sickeningly sweet

my body cries out in utter pain
tiredness an eternal song
but the harmony does not reach his ears

what more does he enjoy but my defeat?

his expression soon clouds over
like the sudden change in a storm's direction
his revulsive smile falls
and in its place a seemingly genuine one

his calloused hands reach out for me
and i grab on tight

the tiredness is taken away
there is no more pain
just the feeling of utter bliss
the calm before the unrelenting fury of a storm

for once i thought he would change
i believed his caring touch would be real
but like a fool i fell into his arms
just for him to throw me away again
my feeble body heavy with the weight of pain

with crimson blood leaking from the corners of my mouth, i croak out, ❝who are you?❞

his sickeningly sweet smile decorates his face once again as he replies, ❝i am life, my dear, and i will never leave your side.❞

My dearest readers,

some days your crown will fall off
and life will push you down on the ground.
you may be tired, even weary
and don't want to get up.
but let me tell you a secret,
life doesn't want you to get up.
so get right back up,
place that crown back on your head.
look life in the eye, laugh, and say,
You thought i wouldn't rise again
and walk out of there like the royalty you are.

To the moon and back,
Sil

To the moon and back, Sil
