DarkPoetry -|- SnowQueen -|- My Body Was A Garden

My Body Was A Garden

I’m in pieces and tied to the floor
Filling the role as your dirty little whore
chains ashamed of me
locks of black hair arranged symmetrically
eyelashes closed together tightly
like a deadbolt lock with no key
I wish I could love you and I once did
but I find so much more love in hatred
You can’t wipe your left over emotions off on me anymore
like germs breeding in a mat on a bathroom floor
You wrecked me- I can say that without a doubt
I feel so sorry for you that my mind won’t block you out
because I’ll scratch at you like a cat til your blood flows- dark red.
I’ll keep it up over and over until I’m sure that your dead
My blood holds together the bricks of my heart
Take a walk through my soul- you can choose where to start
My body is a city left in ruins after war
So unlike the garden that was there before
You stepped on the chrysanthemums- your feet once so brave
My body was a garden but now... it’s your grave.

Oh I know those feelings so well. This was so well written and so blunt about the pain of it all that it nearly made me cry.
