Literature
hold me but don't touch me
I'm standing barefeet in the snow
And feel the numbing cold take over me
I try to keep my head down low
As my tears start freezing to my cheeks
And I know it gets better
I know it gets better
Sometimes I just forget
I wish I could hear your voice
It keeps my demons from devouring me
But I cannot make the choice
To keep you close or far away from me
But I know it gets better
I know it gets better
Sometimes I just relapse
& hold me but don't touch me
I cannot break free
Of these thoughts that surround me
Bring me to my knees
I cannot breathe in the cold air
Do I still breathe at all
& hold me but don't touch me
hold me but don't tou
The Fragility Underneath by shironomitsuki, literature
Literature
The Fragility Underneath
The beauty of the porcelain doll
Mesmerizes all
Fair skinned, pale complexion
Doe-eyed, voice like a song
A cascade of curls
Diverts the attention
From things hidden
In plain sight
Her turmoil, her terror
Cracks in the glaze
Blood seeping through
It mingles with tears
And drips down
Ever down
Clothing tattered
And riddled with tears
Her mind, likewise, ripped up
In disrepair
Each little breath
Is a war in itself
Each movement, a torture
It crushes her bones
Like stepped-upon shells
The constant pain
Is her only companion
The mindnumbing fear
Leaves permanent tremors
She breathes in the smoke
Of fires raging, unseen
She has no more hope
White feathers sprout from
Her back
Yet she’s unable to
Fly
Her wings
Brittle as they are
Incapable of
Carrying her
Her head falls
Into her hands
Tears
Flow
Overwhelmed
By the fact that you actually
Love me...
Overwhelmed
By the softness of your lips
When you press them against mine
Overwhelmed
By the delicateness of your
Carresses
Overwhelmed
By the flock of butterflies
Now inhabiting my intestines
Overjoyed
That I am actually able
To finally call you
mine...
Whatever it may become by shironomitsuki, literature
Literature
Whatever it may become
A calm has settled over me
When in normal circumstances
I'd glance back and forth
And anxiously move my hands about
It is quite terrifying, really
To not feel numbing fear
Or any constant anxiety
Whatsoever
To my surprise
I am able to keep looking ahead
And to keep my hands still
Resting in my lap
I see new possibilities
The possibility to forget
To find happiness
To find love again, even
I do not only see
New possibilities
I also see
That which might bring them
My gaze has fallen onto you
And my heart has fallen
Not blindly, like before
But fallen nevertheless
And I wonder what
Will come of it
But I am not afraid of the possible pain
I
In my head
Was a chorus
So sublime
It started
With a simple
Melody
Soon, it was
Joined by various
Beautiful voices
Some hummed
Some sang
Some sounded like instruments
It was
A chorus
So sublime
But unfortunately
It's only
In my head
Like so many a thing,
It only exists within
The crevices of my imagination
And it will never become real
You
Your juvenile reaction when seeing me
The fact that you were there
It fed the panic
Caused the shivering
Caused the stress
It had me crawling away
Hiding in the shadows
Of fake smiles
