stone

ummbree

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.

    Very well written, ummbree! Yes, sometimes people are not what they seem.

      Thank you! Some people are just better at lying so I decided to write a poem about that, I'm very glad you enjoyed.

      Very good write, trust in people can sometimes be destroyed but there ARE trustworthy people out there and they are worth their weight in gold.

            This is really good. My favorite lines :
