If she fills up with wine
I'll drown myself in her

And in time
Every longing I have for death
Presses another crack up her spine

And I can taste the shards down the back

The pieces of her, me

The Glass Girl

Topic: selfstruggles

There's a glass girl in my head, if I
shake too violently she'll shatter

If she fills up with wine
I'll drown myself in her

And in time
Every longing I have for death
Presses another crack up her spine

And I can taste the shards down the back
of my throat
The pieces of her, me
bleeding straight through me

This is such a sad poem.I hope you are writing out your emotions and are not really feeling this deeply sad.Hang in there, life is a struggle at times but we must keep going.

Hugs

Reading this reminds me of when i feel broken, but even glass can be melted down, and spun anew. :)

Such dark writing and yet it is full of light, your reference to the spine makes me think of the chakras activated as you struggle with your outer and inner hidden true self and slowly but surely she emerges as(your old id ego) is finally shattered after constant episodes of turmoil and despair ,
the phoenix rises out of the ashes,

don't know if my interpretation rings a bell with you but your beautiful poem certainly rang a bell loud and clear with me, great poem, x
