[ @nosebleedclub IX saltwater skin prompt]
will my hair ever dry?
bloody lips sting with salty ocean water
no gates to restrict the flood
stay afloat, stay afloat
waves break into eyes, burning the cornea
tides pull back and forth, dragging on numb limbs
guide me, guide me
a breath so shallow it delivers no oxygen, only love
warm blood and cold water
loud laughs between crashing waves
a kiss faster gone then the rock at the shore she tried to grab
remembering soothing nothingness when her thumb reaches her mouth
saltwater skin on her tastebuds
cells itching and itching with the desperate need
to return to the sea
freedom leaving her soul as dry sand is being gently brushed off her ankle
wet parts still sticking like leeches to the hairs of her leg, shaved too long ago
fueling a longing rooted too deep
and it can never be reached
return to the sea
and never reach the bottom of the ocean.

featherlight, her purpose was to fill up her heart with weightless oxygen - breathe and fly into the sky.
an angel. smiling wholeheartedly and laughing like a child, her presence is certain to ignite hope.
truly, what a selfish act it was to melt a human into a angel-shaped tin, tint her eyes a bright color.
unspoken words are rotting inside my throat, too defeated to try and fight their way out of my mouth.
there’s things that must stay unsaid as not to weigh onto my angel’s lungs; she must stay afloat.
make yourself easy and drop all the weight, tell me about my mistakes and lighten your soul, nurture the hope planted in you.
in a world where your eyes where the only thing worth fighting for, i don’t regret protecting you and i don’t feel the need to remind you of it.
because once the words slip through my lips their rotten smell will destroy your angelic existence i ever so carefully build.
you need me to be a monster and being your older sister, believe me, i am glad to be one for you.
let the weight of a whole family’s trauma squeeze my lungs shut and make me suffocate.
it’s okay, as long as you smile.
dear sister, you will never know how much i sacrificed for your safety and that’s perfect.
you are my hope, my proof that happiness is achievable, that there’s a world where suffering doesn’t paralyze your every muscle.
for the sake of this, i will be your villain.
i won’t tell you, how much it hurts that giving my life wasn’t enough to shield your completely from this broken people looking like parents.
i will tell you how sorry i am instead.
so sorry, that your wings are flawed and the weight of my mistakes drags you to the ground.
forgive me for burning myself and nurturing your seed with my ashes in an doomed attempt of creating a life worth living.
