Most recent
unmarked territory
My body is an island.
Fossils, my scars,
Leave behind exoskeletons
Of abuse that was left
Engraved in the most beautiful
Parts of me.
I have craters from
Asteroids that promised
To destroy the pain but
Left me with an aftertaste far
Worse.
I seem to draws tourists
That all just take a picture
And leave
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Take a suvenere
And leave
Take advantage
And leave
Take off and leave.
My eyes ,volcanoes ,
Once dormant but now
Erupting constantly, leaving
My favorite parts of me in ruins.
I have earthquakes trying
To shake me stable
Before I become just
Another lost island sunk into
The ocean of suicide.
The ebb and flow of the wind,
Is the rise and fall of my chest.
The swaying of the Dewey grass,
The flowing of my hair.
I want one tourist
To show me the beauties of my island
I thought once erased .
I want one tourist
To say “home” and be referring to me.
I want one tourist to stay
Despite the storm
Despite the erupting tears
And most of all calm them.
I have caverns hiding the most fragile part of me
With stone walls protecting it from shattering.
I want one tourist
To love and protect what is inside,
My heart.
I am an island
And I am deserted,
and unmarked.
