Fragments of Strength
In a world where innocence once thrived,
A story of darkness, no longer denied,
She was only nine, a tender age,
A predator's touch, a harrowing stage.
Unwanted caresses, in forbidden places,
A violation that left lifelong traces,
Her strength grew as years passed by,
A quiet resolve, a will to defy.
And when she came of age, strong and bold,
She wielded her knowledge, her secret untold,
With a blade in hand, she took a stand,
A final act of justice, a silenced demand.
In his neck, the dagger found its home,

Bathe In Ashes
Where your world lay dead, covered in gore
Fear left behind at the dawn of our passing
Each who stood before the other
As if it were their own.
Love we let go blind
At the mere mention of hopes death
And our dreams become the hell we knew too well
Do you sleep often without stirring
A comfortable blanket to betray your knowing
A wooly hide for the hunted
Thoughts of money to drive you onwards
For what little time we are allotted
Before you must shut your doors
Or break down theirs again.
How many goodbyes will...
Fear left behind at the dawn of our passing
Each who stood before the other
As if it were their own.
Love we let go blind
At the mere mention of hopes death
And our dreams become the hell we knew too well
Do you sleep often without stirring
A comfortable blanket to betray your knowing
A wooly hide for the hunted
Thoughts of money to drive you onwards
For what little time we are allotted
Before you must shut your doors
Or break down theirs again.
How many goodbyes will...

Gaslit. TW.
Gaslit
You can paint me
in that sadist light
if you like,
I can take it,
it's not the first time
I've been sliced down to marrow,
treated like trash -
by you,
or a lesser you,
or a female version of you
or a monster.
And you
can wield the rod
to not spoil the pawn,
across inner thighs
or outer shoulderblades
until silence is inevitable,
until I'm recoloured
to fit your style.
I get it,
art is all a narrative,
the composing of a scene,
and so I understand ...

Deceptive Shadows
In shadows' dance, manipulation thrives,
With practiced steps, it cunningly strives.
Twisted words, deceit's veil unfurled,
A master's game, a fragile world.
With practiced steps, it cunningly strives,
Illusions woven, truth connives.
Masked intentions, a puppeteer's art,
Strings pulled tight, emotions torn apart.
Illusions woven, truth connives,
Deceptive web where trust survives.
Promises whispered, a siren's call,
Entangled hearts, destined to fall.
Deceptive web where trust survives,
Innocence lost,...
With practiced steps, it cunningly strives.
Twisted words, deceit's veil unfurled,
A master's game, a fragile world.
With practiced steps, it cunningly strives,
Illusions woven, truth connives.
Masked intentions, a puppeteer's art,
Strings pulled tight, emotions torn apart.
Illusions woven, truth connives,
Deceptive web where trust survives.
Promises whispered, a siren's call,
Entangled hearts, destined to fall.
Deceptive web where trust survives,
Innocence lost,...

Hero Syndrome
you think it's easy for me
you've watched me bleed too many times
incarcerating me
you don't know the prison of my mind
you don't know the pain that I have
you think you're saving me
don't use blood ties you're constricting me
love is not a vice
no medication for these ulcers
I'm running out of time
don't try to placate me
just end my suffering
I'm holding on for dear life
stop subjugating me
I'm ready to fall on the knife
this venom in my veins
is mine now to embrace
take cover before I...

No More
It kills me that every time I talk
to you I have to bite my tongue
so the wrong words don't spill out of my
mouth.
Do you not think before you speak, or
watch how the things you say can tear me
down.
No more, do I have to live
under your control
No more, am I taking part in
your placebo
I've cut the chains around my neck
Don't worry I'm not coming back
No more!
(chorus)
The weight on my shoulders is unbearable
And I no longer feel unbreakable
because somehow you have managed to...

To my ex
Dad found your beer can today,under the driver's seat {{classy}}
I found it weeks past . Anger overtook ,no longer of my own accord,alas anger of my mom as she watched as you soiled her once beautiful home . Anger of my father as the life drained from his stoick face as I finally uttered that you liked little girls and I was one of them watching me as I grew ,waiting longing ,planning .I do not wish you the best
I WISH YOU KARMA .
Your name once uttered with ease now now burns me to my core like the venom from a rattler . You letters still linger around my room...

Cardiac
Heartache is a cancer
eats your bones down to the marrow
holds on tight when you should be in remission
like addiction
a drug you can't get out of your mind
it doesn't matter how much time
I relapse
I relapse
I relapse
I fell right into place
I didn't know that I could be erased
I saw the shadows lurking on your face
as you lied to me to secure your brace
my demons rejoiced in my masochism
my love for you, turned its back on self-heroism

Love, Lust, and Lies.
It was not advanced age
Not the tips of wandering fingers
Not the air of mistrust
Or omissions that lingered
You hid all that you could
After everything was shown
No amount of time would prove that you had truly grown
So yes
I would have loved all of whatever you are
I don't know your face but
Truth would have you still fuckin from afar
This bangin new body I've worked for so hard
Would be yours from a screen or you could have it all
Zip codes ain't shit to me I would have met you on my...

The Playwright (Wicked Mirror)
Accountable for your assumption,
Like a naive puppeteer,
Fumbling at the fallacy
Of grip, your performance.
Your play on conscience,
Reading ironic narrative,
Justifies third-personal projection,
Selfishly oblivious, ignorant.
Deflect the lack of
Responsibility, when cited,
In the convenient credits,
Foolish, detailed protagonist.
Copyrighted, idiosyncratic,
Cynical syntax,
Shows the ultimate climax of
Your hypocrisy.
Gullible, grandiose vanity,
Especial in you,
Realized by...
