Telling me not to lie is like telling a fish to fly
Steer clear of malice; To speak of arrows tipped in actuality and respond justly toward malignity. Lest I fall under the gaze of malice becoming putrid within. Heavenly Father above. You paved the way to a damaged youth yet, Almost commonplace to allow surrogate protectors, Crawl inside my flesh only to be spat back out once again. I realise I am not but the woman I thought myself to be; Only an interchangeable piece in the mechanism. A piece in the mechanism, Intertwined between countless souls on the way of my path. By Lana

Untitled 2
Rip away the flesh that clothes this unclean soul Raw muscles and veins exposed only to realise, beauty is not only skin deep. The dying soul that hides behind this flesh, this facade, Rotten and decaying I realise it is not some poor soul only to be given my slight sympathy from afar But my own

King of the streets yet oh so sweet He'd bring the devil to his knees, A heart that skips to the beat of his surroundings A mind that could bring into existence, A kaleidoscope; deduction beyond comprehension Ideation beyond reason He, is a diamond in the rough He, is but an idea of his own creation A light in a darkness A hope in my soul

Silence is nothingness, yet it speaks A million words packed into a mere few seconds which seem to last a painful infinity Your silence it speaks, it is manufactured to torture Your eyes filled with hate Now here I stand, begging you to speak, something, anything, but nothing all the same

Silence
I was strong, you made me weak You broke my barriers down to an empty husk I let you in, and you grabbed on tight to my heart You tugged me back to your game every time I tried to get away. I was broken, you played on it. False concern. Pulling me further into your game Your lips pressed against mine, Deeper once again. Your smile which lit up your face in turn lit up my heart as I thought I was the cause of it The glint in your eye as I could not retaliate against your jokes Your grandiose delusions of your own self worth and your narcissistic ways, all drew me in further You're magnetic **** you brought a life back into me which I had never known before A racing pulse A want A need for you, for your skin against mine But I was a distraction, Your little quick fix of attraction I could never be her, I could never do what she did to you I'm not enough.

Enough
Let us smoke and let us drink a little too much until we who are only but fragile creatures, fade.

Youth
Holding me close Our breath mingling in the cold winter air Fingers laced together You kiss my head Although the night is cold the stars shine for us, Just for tonight

I sit here in the darkness There is no sound, no movement, only thoughts The thoughts which are filled with regret The guilt, the disgust I sit here in the darkness I claw at my skin, attempting to rip it all off, to be clean If I ripped away every shred of skin and muscle I still would not be free I want to be clean I claw at my thoughts, begging for silence inside my mind My soul shrieks and claws at my brain forcing me to feel I don't want to feel I crave forgiveness I sit here in the darkness

Guilt
The bats across my windows fly, Barely visible in the dark night sky The tapping of the radiator, The creaking of the stairs, The meowing of the cat and the mouse it tries to scare. The feathers in the morning, that tickle me awake The sound of a distant yawn, A sign the worlds awake.
