You were
Snowflakes
Dancing along my skin
When I picked up the razor, you
Enveloped every inch of me
Until even the
Blood on my wrists froze
And turned pure white

You were
Ocean waves
Soft and soothing
When I tried to drown, you
Pushed me back to the shore
And filled my lungs with memories
That made it okay
To breathe again

You were
Sunlight
UV rays searching for skin cells
When I hid in the dark, you
Found cracks in my heart
To pour in through and
Reminded my veins
How much they loved warmth

But then you left

The sink is now splashed with
Red raindrops
The ocean is darker than
It was before and
I have sealed my
Windows shut

I guess
I should've known
Because
Snowflakes melt
Waves crash
And the sun always sets.
