Leah

showerless bed wasting trying to sleep away another day- which one that may be no longer matters… (remember how she used to fill him up?) to the brim of course yes, there had been that now the cup sits empty no nectar to surge over the dry dusty dam of her heart- evaporated dreams (oh yeah, there had been those) the bitter replacements of night sweats and screams she would only like to know one little thing- (and it truly IS an itty-bitty word) W(hen did the leaving start?) H(ow could she have stopped the left?) Y(ou stupid beautiful fuck…) ?(the mark now upon her forehead) of course, there had been a time when she had raced to reply  to a set of letters spoken aloud (when had she become nameless?) probably when he had become,(so blindingly) truly false (was anything kept sacred from his lies?) she continues to shed him  out from under her skin- disarmed by the powerful wake of her falsely true blue(s)

Additional Notes:
Leah is my best friend and has gone through alot this last year.'showerless' is intentional as is the lack of punctuation and caps-wanted to add to the confusion of thoughts as they come
