Leave Life Be

LEAVE LIFE BE BY REBECCA BROOKS

remember December nights? when it hurt to close my eyes when my days were empty and my nights were alive. jewel studded skies became only a guise for those that pried inside my mind, pulling out my darkest threads of memory then throwing them upon me like wild dogs. remember fairy lights that made my eyeballs bleed? red, blue and green, thoughts stuck inside a screen, I became a robot, a machine, churning out indistinguishable thoughts like cheese. then there was you on my phone, I had never felt so alone, I spent my hours crafting words for you, you later threw them in the trash.
