Beauty, Dead & Gone

I decided to write a poem that uses these three words instead of creating a character that embodies them. Hope you guys enjoy! 🩷😊


——————


I’m rough around the edges,

My heart is cracked and jagged.

I’m ravenous for love,

With self-esteem that’s ragged.


And baby, all I really know

Is that I don’t know a thing.

Loving you is painful,

But I can’t live without the pain.


If I could climb a mountain,

And take down the stars and moon,

I’d stuff them in a duffel bag,

And bring them straight to you.


Because the sky is marvelous,

But next to you, it’s bland.

And everything‘s more beautiful,

When you hold it in your hands.


So, darling, I suppose that’s why

These tears blur my sight.

You’re gone, and now I’m nothing,

All the beauty’s died tonight.
