I breathe

I breathe

A Poem by Elizabeth


cold tile is strangely comforting
when I am wearing nothing

the cracked mirror
and rivets of blood
whisper “we know what you did last night”

empty pill bottles
angry bruises


whisper, whisper, whisper

and yet,
I breathe

I see the sun through heavy drapes
and I wonder
about last night

Thank you for coming along with me :)
I love it because no matter what you might have done life still goes on...no matter how much you do don't want it to.

You know what it is that I really like about your work? I love that its so honest and you hold nothing back that makes all the difference between so so and genius.

A moment of weakness is a naturally human condition... then we move on and live in the next moment.

the thing about cold tile is, that you feel it. stark feeling

another miraculous poem.
