My scattered words are beautiful

Kaleidoscope and stained glass dreams

This inner monologue is flawless, but

My voice never makes it through the seams

I tried so hard to be so patient

Empathy. Everything. For not.

Candy coated lies were told

This love was nothing like I thought

But I still sit and write sweet words

Like this ink beat through my heart

Because even though they’re just sweet words

I meant every single part

I see you. You’re so beautiful.

Your reflection in the mirror

I felt your body close to mine

But you were never really here

Every ounce of me I showed you

Was the real me to the core

But I never really knew you

And you don’t know me anymore

But I still sit and write sweet words

Like this ink beat through my heart

Because even though they’re just sweet words

I meant every single part
