Like her name, some people are best left scrouged on the skin.
ODD KENLike her name, some people are best left scrouged on the skin.
ODD KENI guess you’re the bee and the stings all at once; By which I mean you’re the reason I wrap these tired bones around every aching thing.
ODD KENIn the end not every bleeding thing dies; at least, not like a paper plays in fire.
ODD KENThese sharp edges you left behind, they cut so deep; and I guess maybe I am just not dying enough.
ODD KENI’ve seen it, I know it too; love still dances in the fire after the rescue.
ODD KENPerhaps I mistook the pain with work in progress.
ODD KENI don’t think the world is ever getting better; I guess maybe people just find new ways to hide what kills them.
ODD KENIn the end the salt calls the ocean home; and I guess this is why drowning has always been a part of loving you.
ODD KENRespect pain. Every heartfelt word is first born from sadness.
ODD KENSometimes even in pain we smile to the world until we think we’re dying.
ODD KENSomedays depression is tender, as though hurting is just an art; and that maybe she didn’t break me more than enough!
ODD KENI guess we all understand the love language fine; but maybe truth is we’re just too fluent in goodbyes.
ODD KENIt is my dying wish to travel around the world; to feel this hurt in a slightly different way!
ODD KENGive everything some time; pain hasn’t learn to walk yet.
ODD KENI knew you would leave someday; And from there a poet will be born from the ashes.
ODD KENWhen I say I love you, I mean something raw something below the surface of all waters; something almost too naked and true!
ODD KEN
