on a (temporall) plane

What language can i speak to you?
Mere expression taints the truth.

I cant even read this book that is me

My shell is crumbling into bits.
Can you tell what is inside of it?
Even if you can, are you sure you want to?
I don't think I want to.

I'm so afraid of what's inside
So ugly as to try to hide
buried deep within the lies
its a wonder that it's still alive!

And what to do? Now I'm exposed:
stripped naked of my filthy clothes:
stark against the gray:
this crimson bleeding.

Damn crimson bleeding.

It's impressive in its stark pessimism.
If you are afraid of what's inside, dig deeper and deeper till you find the gem at your core, it is there in wait of being discovered.

Love,
Margherita
