midas touch
i have a gift
cursed- not blessed
i do not have gold
and beauty
i have rust
dirt
ruin
i ruin everything i touch
bring it down with me
burn it
trash it
like it never existed before
feelings are crashing like waves
and hearts are torn into such tiny pieces
there no hope to mend the break
a break i caused
i put my cursed hands
on such delicate roses
they shrivel and die
i put my cursed hands
on such lovely memories
they twist and bury away
i put my cursed hands
on such beauty that friendships had
and turned them into chaos
bitter
betrayal
i put my cursed hands
on myself
since that’s already ruin
a monster that was born
wreaks havoc upon everything
and everyone
i can make myself
disappear
i can allow for a better
midas touch to touch
the world

I am a person of mistakes. I make a lot and they tend to hurt people that I have friendships with. I ruined some friendships and this is like an ode to my sorrows.
