UnicornDisturbance

In seconds, he destroyed four childhoods.

Meet a girl named No One, with a heart of shattered stone Staring at the other girl, the one that's not alone Girl with skin that glistens, with the eyes of crystal seas Grin of shining diamonds and a laugh like a disease Flashes just a glance and soon, she's every trouble's cure She has everything… and No One's off to be like her. Eating turns into a crime, she'd rather be away Thrusting fingers down her throat to make herself okay Watching as her very bones are seen behind her flesh There she drowns in tears, for she has not yet seen success. Minutes turn to hours, and these hours turn to days Every moment slipping, slowly fading

My parents bought a little two-bedroom house when they first got married. It was run down, falling apart, but most importantly: cheap. Two years later, my mother fell pregnant with me. She immediately abandoned her job for some plaster and paint and set about decorating the untouched spare room. She splashed pastel yellow across the walls, replaced the dingy carpet and kitted out the room with furniture. Sixteen years after my birth, and the yellow paint is flaking off the walls revealing the kiwi green beneath. I can peel back the corners of the carpet to reveal the worn underlay and half rotten floorboards. I can examine the fringe of my

my mother kept smiles in bottles

He wanted to pull out the pain with a syringe, as if it were black jelly that had accumulated underneath his skin. This was how morning welcomed him. *** On saturday nights, he was the kind of man who went around town painting murals with a can. They were gorgeous, especially when city employees melted them with hose-water. *** In America you can find dollar bills stuck deep in the cracks between sidewalks; you can find people stuck deep in the cracks between buildings too. *** You can also find people inside said buildings, inside beds, inside... *** One and only one night, the painter was approached by a hairy young

S. Note Dear mother, dear father Dear brother, dear sister Don't worry, you still have each other And without me you're all so much stronger Leave me behind and let me go, I promise the days will get brighter Dear teachers, dear counselors Dear therapists, dear doctors You have my gratitude for what you all did But I hit rock bottom too many times, and this last one was it The end of the road again, as if no one could have kept me from a coffin - I was not fit to live life I failed at everything, every time I sincerely did my very best, I really tried I just could no longer stand feeling so powerless inside I lay wide awake ev

the familiar wailing of a saxophone on a side street on a rainy day. the last building on the left, with a heavy wooden door... and no windows. words... walls of concrete covered in concrete words that mean absolutely nothing. pedestrians walk up and down the street and partake in the exchange of distant glances with approaching people. solitude... among the myriad of cold raindrops.

If there was no more water in the lakes I would cry you a river so you could drink forever If there was no more air in the atmosphere I would give you my last mouthful of oxygen If there was no more food walking or growing I would cut off my limbs for you to feast If there was no more light in sight I would burn all my possessions so I can see you smile just one more second If there was no more love in this hell I would hug and hold you for all of eternity so that this hell might become heaven...

He smelled like spice and cheap perfume and we lived in a world of cheap money and lipstick stains.  Where the most romantic thing to be done is a chaste kiss as he left the motel room. We lived in a world of dirty rooms and stained bed sheets, the kind you didn't want to touch in case of diseases. We never cared about that, did we, love? There was never any time for words. We had no reason to speak, just desperate touches and a need to be held. We never belonged. He was a prince but I was no princess. But oh, how you made me feel like royalty. He belonged in a world of lies and deception, of fake smiles and party tricks. I lived in a world

My minds dazed My hearts a mess, I'm so confused (I must confess) Please take my hand, And hold me tight (For my heart Please do fight) It's getting lost, Breaking apart, I'm losing my grip, (Shattered like glass) My voice is gone, Ash left in its wake, I'm coughing up my heart (And making mistakes) I can't sleep because of soundless screams, My fists clench (Theres no point in dreams)
