Charred Mess

Posted by meli on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 in poetry | No comments

I am broken

burnt to a crisp

it was your doing

pure negligence

I am a charred mess

splintered and split

my bones feel cold

so exposed

I am stripped of comfort

everything rummaged through

left standing alone

fuck you

I am barren and raw

though not completely gone

my foundation remains

holding my strength all along

I am standing; I breathe

from the ashes I rise

becoming stronger and wiser

my heart beats; I'm alive

*disclaimer*

this is not my house. 

found this beautiful wreck while driving through nearby neighborhoods in the middle of the night.

it matches my mood.
