Undone

by Trisha Hanudel - Gemini

What a face, a body, such a beauty
A "perfect life" never lasts
Nothing does--it all comes undone
Sparks fly, stone hearts cry
Too many words
Wishing anything was a loaded gun
Aesthetically beautiful works
Creativity is only a salvation
For the soul reduced to none
Always wanting to know why
Waited ten years
For answers that will never come
Just a kid--a fucking kid
Who knows of nothing more
Compassion comes from no one
Never knowing what to do
Desperation, but no ideas
That's how it all comes undone
No one listens but they hear everything
And ignore it all
While ignoring the death of one
Too many words, silence will never come
Creativity is the only salvation
When you wish you were holding a gun
But no one cries anymore
What a horrible thing to get used to
If they were right,
If it really was a fault all this time,
Then the blood that stains my hands
Must be my own

Reason for writing:

    she almost gave me the impression that they were refugees from their own past, thinking they could rid themselves of the problem of their lives by changing location, believing they only had to go far enough and they would leave their problem behind them. but sometimes it's just not enough
