why do these bones bleed marrow

by pmmurphy   Nov 16, 2017


not entirely sure why I ache
every time my body wants to move
life slips through me
it feels like nothingness
there is a fine line between beauty and grace
and I fell off the whole planet
just wanted to feel loved
why does she plan on loving someone else
claiming that I was perfect
that we were going to be something
that everything was going to work out
we would meet one day
and everything would be fireworks
it seems as though lying is easy
when you can't face yourself at night
its easy to tell someone you love them
its harder to make it work
there was no making it work
once sacrifice came into play
she kept the lamb

    Awww. My bones did not ache while reading this, my heart did. Ahhh, 'she kept the lamb' this is fab, Pat. I felt the brokenness of the speaker here, it cuts thru the marrows, truthfully speaking.
