little girl lost traces her scars in the moonlight
jagged, angry red lines
not the kind of marks you get from
falling off your bike when you were five
or accidentally touching a hot stove
scars from scissors and razors and SELF-HATRED
little girl lost likes to create them on her skin
like an unbeautiful canvas
and watch red liquid come to the surface
drip drip drip
is the sound it makes on the bathroom floor
little girl lost just wants to be enough
she thinks as she rolls over in a bed that isn't hers
little girl lost just wants to like herself
she thinks as she plays with hair that isn't hers
little girl lost just wants to feel something other than anger
she thinks as she tries to think about something else
roses are red
violets are blue
your scars are ugly
and so are you
little girl lost grins at herself
in self-deprecation
this is her life
this is her mess
red riding hood is laying next to her
her breathing is shallow with sleep
her lips swollen
(little girl lost bit too hard last night
it was red's turn to bleed)
little girl lost watches her for a long time
artificial breeze from a pink ceiling fan
ruffles red's hair
little girl lost swallows guilt
she is perfect
red's brown eyes open
deep, endless pools of chocolate
little girl lost wants to swim in them
what are you thinking about jade
little girl lost lifts her arm
red bites her swollen lip
"i'll take care of that"
red whispers
JADE melts into the bedsheets
this is what home is
