Justice
Your face I remember clearly as the sky that I once saw
The color your eyes turned as the sun hit them
Amber, like the sand on the beach where children run free
The way you made me feel free and childish
Amber, like the fire that would burn at the scarified skin, hearts and blood
The way you make my skin burn, my cheeks first then an attempt at the heart but my blood will always be boiled
The smile you once shown upon me
It spread across your cheeks like the brush of an artist
It was crafted perfectly with the right amount of hope and tragedy
The rocking of your head as you laugh
For the jokes you've made
Reference, and stupidity
Your face is the one I remember
The one I can carve into my skin
For you I might as well
You tug at my eyes
I feel at my scars
Your words dragging me into your arms
Your pit
I smile for you
The face engraved into my shoulders words engraved in my thighs and cheeks
Where you've touched
Things I'll never get back
The body once untouched
Once at peace
I justify your being
As justice you leave me blind and mindless
