: Sandpaper

Hello there, I'm Rachael.
For me the act of writing poetry is so many things. It's confessional, diary-keeping, hopeless speculation, problem solving, story-telling, therapy, anger management and relaxation all rolled into one convenient (and free) package. Almost everything I write is from personal experience. And because of the anonymous nature of a blog, I feel comfortable sharing things I wouldn't dream telling anyone in my everyday life. I suppose it's my outlet, my own little secret endeavour that keeps me sane and is entirely mine. I make no promises of producing 'quality' pieces of worthwhile literature. My main objective is to be honest, and hopefully you'll be able to find something you can to relate to in this jumble of words.

Thanks for visiting. Ask me questions.

Sandpaper

Mascara watermarks flow downwards on her marble skin. They leave indents in the stone of her cheeks, little trenches of familiar tracks. Angry tears are acidic you see…and they will erode you, with each fresh tide.

He came along, like something out of a fairytale.

And in his hand he held sandpaper. With each caress, he wore down those tributaries of tears. Restoring her to smoothness, to calm.
The pebbles that had been rattling around in her chest, were making odd noises now. For they are being bound together with flesh, pumping blood through veins for the very first time.

He was healing her, his kisses breathing life….

Yet, she does not know who she is now. Now, that she is happy, and no longer made of stone.

She had been a statue for a long time - Who is she now?
