My pain has always been prettier on paper... The way my tears land and make the ink bleed through the faded blue lines... The way my frustration smears the page into blurs of illegible letters and marbled designs... The way my notebook's corners are curled during the hours of countless sighs... And the way my fingers twist my misery... So that it's prettier than what's inside.

Consonants
There's times when words hit you harder than gravity. Every syllable strikes you effortlessly between your eyes and every vowel punches you remorselessly in the face. But the consonants... They can just tear straight through your flesh...
Edged
Her tongue was edged
like shattered glass
as her thoughts
pierced the air…
An ambush of sharp,
unforgiving words
left puncturing the minds
of anyone who dared to listen…
Words
They spewed from behind your coffee- stained teeth... Uncensored, unmerciful, and undeniably concrete.
Vicious
Words slip from your hot tongue effortlessly and quick. Vicious verbs and malignant nouns thrown carelessly, but with steady aim. Striking precisely into a very unforgiving head.
Words

Shrapnel
We ignited each other
like pipe bombs.
Our harsh words
sailing into one another
like shrapnel…
And leaving nothing
but ragged scars
and bloodied flesh.
