Skin & Bones

trigger warning: suicide

the angels in high places

call down from their soft perch.

they cup their hands and catch my tears

as I fall down to earth.

 

the angels in high places

watch my soul burn thin.

their cries and grief go unheard

as I

unwrap my skin.

the angels in high places

lift me up and take me home

the pain that once controlled me

is left inside my bones. 

Author's Note

really not feeling great today. guess this just came out of that feeling.

I think many people have felt the same way you have, but not everyone could express it as beautiful as you have. Just take a deep breath, wash your face with cold, cold water and then do something you love, but most of all, don't think about what upsets you, don't even think about thinking about it. :) :)
