#i was fully prepared to bare my own heart without projecting but noooo steve has to take over

[maritimecorpse]

Snap.

A balancing act.

Threads too thin

and weight too much.

A hummingbird heart

in a broken cage.

Scales left unbalanced

to rust underneath a crimson sun.

/

Snap.

Tears in pretty eyes.

Teeth too sharp

and touch too heavy.

A lonely boy

in a broken home.

Lips twisted into false smiles

above an empty pool.

/

Snap.

A bleeding heart.

Wanting too much

and getting too little.

A broken fighter

in a bloodstained bed.

Hands combing through hair

in a well-deserved embrace.
