Fade

[Friday]

whispered ink tells truth
as she lies, silent & afraid,
waiting for scorn to lick skin
while welts scream mercy -


self inflicted
the shadows crawl on broken knees
to rest, apologetic, behind her eyes -
trading sleep for screams

& she's living on repeat
clawing at breath
between battered steps










save me
