I sit
back and
watch what
I once
was fall
into the
ocean.
---
Pieces of
myself float
to distant
lands.
---
All that's
left is
a shell.
---
A hollowed
out version
of what
use to
be me.
---
I stepped
outside this
world so
long, that
I finally
lost my
way back.
---
Withering heart,
plays the
death rattle.
---
The ugliness
I spent
so long
hiding is
now seeping
through my
pores.
---
No amount
of makeup
can hide
this truth.
---
I have
become the
void of
sight and
sound.
---
There's no
coming back.
---
It's impossible
to get
any lower
when you're
so high.
---
My tears
spilled through
my fingers
onto the
page.
---
The story
of my
life written
by the
mirror.
---
"She was,
then she
wasn't anymore.
The end."
