There was a stutter in their heartbeat
in their breathing
then a scream rang across the room
then quiet
No one seems to notice
no one
times goes on just the same
Words trip out like honey
Trickling into a drink that leaves my head spinning
Ink seeping through and creating a swallow pool
As you thread me through your spool
You thread me
And stretch me too thin
And like I said
It makes my head spin
I'll find a ribbon and tie it your wrist
Then each day I'll bring another
Until your wrists are covered in them
Until your ankles are too
Maybe one for your neck?
And your hair and horns! But only a few.
Day one, I've brought you one of bright red! Should I find one in blue for tomorrow?
Then the third I brought you green. One that gave a bright sheen
Your eyes dully stare at me, but that's fine!
The fourth and fifth I brought ones with confetti patterns! Soon, after 50 multi colored ribbons, one arm was filled.
Each day, your eyes grew a bit brighter
Some days, I brought two, each a bright hue
You never took them off, I noticed.
You treated
A million masks decorated with lies, and cries and sighs
Masks hiding screams and laughs
Masks everyone has
The thing they want to be seen as
Caring and kind
Selfish and scared
But as you wear them
You'll slowly start to become this
Be who you must
Be who you want.
Constrict and conflict
My heart torn at the seams, perhaps you had tugged too hard, not that I mind. Please just help clean up the mess would you?
Glass scattered across the floor, is this all I'm in store for? The shards slice my feet, making it hard to walk as I smear blood on the carpet.
I think you're just trying too hard now.
When I'm laying around, my body warm as I feel practically boneless, my heart beating lazily, when you scream. My heart beat spikes, my eyes snapping open.
I rush over, but now, I'm not sure what you even are.
You need me to live, but god, I do not need you
But where did you come from again?
Me
I can't destroy you
T
I check the messages again
Nothing
I check the time I sent mine
Its been too long to be purely accident
I feel hot tears roll down my face as I open another app
No message there
I look at the blank faces around me
No one looks to me
I try to say something
My voice is too quiet, too small. Like me
I try to maybe touch someone, make them look at me so I can say at least one thing
They flinch away too soon
But why would I be noticed?
Aren't I just a nobody?
I lower my head
Enjoying how slow my heartbeat has become
Dread filling every inch of me
I snap my head up at a sound I hear
But no
Its not directed at me
Again
I'm just a nobody
