A rendition of // Rudy Francisco Scars
One
if i could i would send your body to the burning stars.
i would sacrifice our love to the sky
hoping to resurrect the dignity and self-respect i had before i met you
Two
Take me down from my crucifixion prison.
Stitch up my heart with promises to myself
mop up the bloodied puddle of chances i gave you
Three
Loving you was a skill i wasn't able to learn
Four
you wanna know how i got these scars? i ripped every last piece of you from my smile
Five
Give me my stardust
six
and my sunflowers
seven
i dipped my hands in forever but im washing away infinity. Im breathing everything i sacrificed for you out of my system. You didnt deserve me
eight
you wanna know how i got these scars ? see i swallowed my pride but it clawed its way out of my mouth
nine
i know you cared about us but the truth is it just wasnt enough
ten
i hope your next girlfriend gets smallpox
ten
gives it to you
ten
yes i said smallpox
ten
a part of me still loves you
ten
i love myself more
its hard for me to count when i get emotional
ten
i heard that over 90% of human interaction is non verbal so...
[...]
ten
if i could i would tie your arms to a daydream and auction you off to my fondest memories
see i wrote this poem with dried salty tears that hardened on my cheek bones like armour before i continue look at me and know i've given up on you.
you're an ear marked chapter in a book of painful mistakes i dont regret
your face burns in my memory. your words gave me wings, your smile filled my heart, your arms held me together, your laugh warmed my soul you were a storm.
your cracked hourglass with sand spilling from behind your ribs you wasted my time.
how dare you. how dare you hand me hope. hug me like it'll all work out, excuses stapled to the roof of your mouth. i still remember us like a dream. a fast fading dream in the morning. i tried to hold on but i always wonder if it even happened at all.
and of course you wanna know how i got these... scars
i got these scars the day i fell in love with you
i fell face first
