Every night
you were poked
and prodded at
like you were a
machine,
something that
had no purpose.
Thoughts of imaginary
scissors cutting you
away inch by inch
lingered in my
thoughts every day.
You began to receive
unnecessary scratches
and bruises,
things that made
your artistry fade
over time.
I watched you
slowly disintegrate
into oblivion and
did nothing to stop
you from leaving;
I was happy.
I didn’t respect you.
My callousness
has melted and
you will be set free.
I will finally see you as
you should be seen:
beautiful.
There is light
radiating out of
every scrape
and roll that radiates
an entire room;
you’re not going to be
unnoticed.
