Hey Beautiful

My nerves ache.
Blue and white and blank
For purpose, not of.

I wanted to run, 
but words ran out of me.
Betrayed me. Said they let me be.

Fake smiles, false hopes.
Rid them off me, 
Strip me bare to my bones,

That feel,
dirty to the marrow and further inside.
Wash them clean.

I want to thank you for
Stealing my humility,
And my thunder.

Silence is the new kid on the block.
Say, hey Beautiful,
what are you doing tonight?
