ummbree

stone

When he says my name

It drops from his lips in every language

I can see every letter carve themselves in the empty side of my bed

Like calligraphy, he was undeniably beautiful

Like calligraphy, he was unapologetic

Like calligraphy, I could barely read him

When I could, his eyes said what they wanted

His ocean mind found it’s way into me

Now I’m drowning in the safety of myself

I’m made up of designer sunsets & originally painted skies

I realized that beautiful things are built by ugly people

He,

He was the worst of them all.

He was never ugly on the outside

But everything he touched turned cold

And me?

I am no longer designer sunset & authentic sky

I am stone.
