Sculptures From Shattered Bones

by · Trigger warning

1/2/2019
Shards of my shattered bones carve sculptures out of marble
Virgin blood paints the canvas of my skin
My cries at night sing songs of bygone madness
Desperation in my eyes tells tales of unspoken sin

Brokenness begets an artist
A lonely life ensues
To create means giving up comfort
Insanity imbues

An artist seeks disaster
to inspire one more line
He'd not have it any other way
Seek and you shall find
