Faustina Marie Poems

Waiting for the gun to go off
The bell to sound
The light to flash:
Waiting for my life to start
...

A thousand beads of water
Are shattered where I stand,
Half from my own eyes
...

I know I can't turn back to my old crutch
It's borne the weight that I didn't think I could
For longer than it needed to
...

Love used to seem silly,
But now I believe
It is our purpose
...

Touch, taste:
Electricity, sugar

It's wholesome,
...

Contemplating your love
Kindling your passion,
Made the rest of the world dissolve
...

Do you scream
And thrash
And beat your chest
And sob on the inside?
...

Seven shards of glass
That spin and twist and
Score my body
...

Sifted flour in clouds around my feet
Clinging to every crevice

The chilling wind pinches my cheeks pink
...

I spent the summer wrapped up
Safe in my cocoon and itching in my skin
Patiently waiting out the dark
For the new day
...
