Salt

by Christie - Aries

Burned
salty tears that I cry
for these fucking wounds inside
my broken heart
once blessed with your love
now ripped apart
with your revenge your long nails
that tore me into little pieces
your cold eyes stunned me
and made my body go numb
lying naked in a pool of my own blood
and regret
shallowness and defeat surrounding me
suffocating my last breath of life
I stare in silence up at the ceiling
as the painful burning continues
to weaken my exposed skin
I try to scream for mercy 
through my chapped lips 
and parched throat
I claw at my chest
with my bloody fingertips
trying desperately to stop the burning’
to stop the fire inside
nothing I am numb
salty tears that I cry
roll down my bruised cheek
and onto the floor
