Neon bruises

Ruins of What They Took From Me102 words~1 min read

i want love like a car crash,

metal bending under the weight of it,

something that leaves scars

but proves i was here.

we met under the broken glow of streetlights,

his eyes cold as a kiss in the dark.

he whispered my name like a sin,

and i followed, knowing it would break me.

the world is too clean for this kind of chaos,

too gentle for the kind of love

that leaves you shaking and bruised.

but i still gave him my hands,

let him mark me in neon—

because sometimes,

the only thing that makes sense

is the mess.
