Word Vomit

when it hurts so bad the words just fall out in a mess.

Build me up , put me high in the sky.

Allow the stars and sun to rotate around my body,

Watch as I shine,

Watch as I glow ,

Watch as I thrive ,

Then take the sun and use it for yourself;

Slowly peel away ever star for your sky.

Knock me down.

Watch me fall.

Watch me crumble.

Watch the blood seep from my soul,

Step over me as you climb up into the sky.

And with my one last gasping breath,

I’ll apologize for bleeding from the fall .

Let your true colors shine babe as they blind the next victim. 

Unable to hold back the vomit,

I become sick as I watch you walk away

And leave me in the puddle of bloody promises and hushed I love yous 

You carry away a piece of my heart and add it to your collection 

A piece of my soul is stuck to yours 

And I’m a little less of who I was 

A little less me , a little more you

Because our souls intertwined and left me with a piece of yours . And it feels like black slime dripping down my bones . To the core of my heart , and I try to wash it off with tears and sweat but it’s still there clinging to the corner of my broken heart. It’s hiding in the corner and randomly pops up it’s ugly head causing me to fall to my knees in agony and pain. 

Nothing hurts worse.

“And I’m a little less of who I was... A little less me, a little more you”... these words are so true and the essence of this poem. People like that take some good from us, maybe a little faith in humanity, and yet leave some bad, too. Raw poem packed with gut wrenching emotion.
