As my hand gently embraces the clay, <br />I am reminded of a mortal calamity. <br />I drink to suppress the pain… <br />So many years spent, <br />Perfecting this image of you. <br />So lifelike it feels, <br />I am drawn closer….... <br /> <br />I brush your face, <br />My fingers slide across your eyes <br />As I remember waking up to those starry skies. <br />Down to your concrete lips. <br />The night we first kissed, <br />You smiled at me, <br />you promised you’d never leave. <br />I touch your frozen breasts, <br />As I continue to wrap myself around you waist. <br />Remembered for your fallen grace. <br />My tears disperse on your shoulder. <br />As though you rejected my sadness. <br /> <br />I fall crying asleep, <br />From thinking of you… <br />I awoke to see your face again. <br />My back throbbed, As I look in the mirror <br />A scar that covered my entire body. <br />Like a crack at the seam, <br />Of God’s design. <br />I see the same symbol over you. <br /> <br />Each part of the morning, I grew with a rash. <br />Dark and grey, like an angry cloud. <br />My body felt heavier. Sorrow became intense. <br />I started to believe you wanted revenge from me. <br />My leg’s froze, that one spot I fell. <br />As I slowly turn to stone. <br /> <br />I watch you… <br />As this sculpture cracks. <br />The exterior of inferior self. <br />Your keen want of demand. <br />As you become real, I freeze…. <br /> <br />I’m covered in clay, <br />I can no longer speak… <br />My eyes are the only thing that’s real. <br />I saw you come life... <br />I gave you this life… <br />You stared at me, <br />But I had already died….. <br />A sacrifice well deserved. <br />A concrete tear falls once again.<br /><br />Empath In flames<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-i-turn-to-stone/
