Shatter

in Writing

Give me your dark and twisted. Share with me your secrets. Bare your soul and bleed before me. Paint the world with your pain. Tear open your chest and show me how it feels. Drive your hands inside the cavity and feel for your heartbeat. Is it still there?

I don’t want to.

Show me how you hurt. Point to the pain and we’ll see how it looks. I’ll provide you with a microscope and we can examine it together. We can paw through the blood, looking for pieces left intact. We will sort you and break you. We can put you together backwards again. You will be broken, but you will be perfect.

Go away.

Dredge your insides for emotion. Bite upon it, making the pain greater. Does it still hurt? What about if I poke here? Show me. Splash it across the screen for the world to read. Scream your agony, screech your grief. Make the world hurt like you hurt.

I can’t do this.

Share with me your pain. Let me search through your insides looking for ways to make you shatter. Let me hurt you. You’ll feel better. I promise.

Well, that’s 4 comments I’ve written and deleted now. I wish I had your way with words. You have an amazing talent.

There are things that I want to say about this post and I just don’t know how to. I lack the ability to take an image that this post has formed in me and put it into words.
