Chapter 1


Because my art is not so much art to you,

and my love you look at with indifference.

While you crave to see a shining river,

I bleed out.

Because I believe, like a fool,

that my blood will be bright enough,

so I open my veins

hoping you’ll mistake them for rivers.

But not even then do you notice.

And I drown,

I lose strength,

and I’m left anemic.

Yet my suffering

doesn’t hurt enough for you.

And my agony isn’t poetry in your blindness.

Because in the movies it’s ok

but when I am able to give you down to my bones,

you get scared.

And you leave me,

with this bitter indifference,

that corrodes me,

that destroys who I am.

And leaves me asking

who I want to be,

when I only wanted to be

what you wanted.

mariedavismd312: This was Avery spiritual read. The last 2 chapters where very disappointing. That was such a let down unless there is a sequel. Burgess should have been punished for what he did. There was no explanation for his hatred for Jeremiah. I figured he was being set but just had the wrong person. I loved ...
