lovely

 
my apologies if I shook you
but my demons need to speak
it is the time to rise within myself
and answer you

under a spell
I am hexed
frustrations bane I am in pain

beholden to the dark I wander
emptiness of being, never
I am a beautiful being of fortitude
I excel in the bleak
I will bend and never break

you seek my desolation
I won't give it to you
I offer my unrequited love
as proof I am worthy

unhinge the need
show me what you are
I have a desire to caress your dark

inside of my abyss
you will find like beings in me
likened to yourself

is this your fascination with me?

the ones that pull the strings
looking into your soul I find you are lovely
forsaken by the cult of normalcy
banality really

my shadows scream your name
and I find you in fetal position
shame has nothing on you
if I see you as beautiful
a creature of great intellect

selecting me from the shelves of dolls
in the madness collecting my thoughts
like seashells

to keep inside your heart of hearts
as your beloved
