bricks and so much more


This is a post dedicated to someone very close to me. I also want it to serve as a reminder to whoever is reading to treat everyone with love. Everyone is fighting their own personal battle. Just be kind.

//She was alone, and
bricks were the only ones
who spoke to her.
So she one day couldn't help but listen.
The bricks began to consume her,
they nibbled away at her soul day by day.

No one could see what she hid under her sleeves.

No one saw her rotting chest or the bruises on her brain.

She disappeared inside of herself without a trace.

Her bones crumble in your touch
Her eyes glazed,
breathing shallow.

She was alone
She was terrified

She learned that sadness had no color
but it was the silence that filled her ears
and the sound of her heart beating
at 3am.


She was drowning
And the bricks continued dragging her
deeper and deeper
Until there was nothing left
