Ophelia’s swinging herself across her lake
The salt of the water is hitting my face. Can she leave?
Can’t she go? I’m fed up with the artificial show.
Female insanity, that’s me.
If I die today I’ll make it pretty.

There's no air in the lungs; no space to scream.
Fog climbing the throat, you can barely breathe.
Vision is messy, heartbeat is loud, your brain
is being choked and you can't make a sound.
A timer is ticking but there is no alarm:
no end goal, no consequence, no evil, no harm.

Take me to the place I know.
The lake that looks cold, where the wind stings your skin.
Take me there, away from here. Away from
saltine tears and diminishing reality.
Take me to the place I think I know.
The cliff by the sea, where the waves crash loudly.
Take me there, take me anywhere.
I don't even know what is reality.

There are eight hundred different ways to describe
the way that I feel when I look into your eyes:
is it anger? Regret? Sadness? Fear?
Did you know I haven't forgotten you all of these years?
Yes, you did hurt me and for that, I cried for
almost three months you can't be surprised-
because what you took from me? Something so pure,
and turned me into something else, that wasn't there before.
It's been a while-; I'm glad of that.
I see you've changed and I'm proud of that.
I hope your new girl won't get hurt like me-
please don't leave her in tears and ruined sexually.

long black hair and white pale skin
piercing eyes whilst sipping gin.
don't know what's happening but let's begin
our story.
flashing lights and thumping bass
I can't even feel my face.
I feel like I'm going into
dangerous territory.
now your putting your number in my phone
and saying that you need a lift home
but I can't see and my head
is blurry.
but you look so good so i give in
not knowing what's going to happen, not thinking
we jump in the car and begin
our journey.
we're driving fast through the hillside
then some lorry comes past and hits the side
of my car.

Just because there's a flash doesn't mean that I'm blinded,
I see through the cash and the cars, I'm almost excited to
learn about why you hide behind the fame.
When you could use what you know to illuminate the way
for change.
But it was never for them, for us, or even you.
Just fill the void with powder and a drink that'll do.
Because the awards stay shiny and praise keeps coming,
the only thing you lost was your sense of belonging.

"It's a lonely world" a Girl did cry. She wept
and wept until Her tears ran dry.
Eyes were burning, still pained from the salt
"It's not worth it" spiralling Her thoughts.
What could She do? There's nought more left-
No bread nor jam nor time to rest.
Not a friend or foe besides Herself, not a place to sit,
not even dust on the shelf.
She sits there in quiet, interrupted by Her fears
because She knows She can't hold them back-
those dreaded saltine tears.

having to sit in room of noise
trying to fit in, trying to smile.
they keep on talking "how's this, how's that?"
i want them to stop, i don't know anymore.
they're talking about nonsense and trying to talk to me.
why are they talking to me.

i remember those nights when we used to sing
along to the cd we bought on a whim.
and i remember those times when we used to smile
whilst sitting on the beach which stretched for miles.
and i remember those hours when we used to cry
at 3am about our lives.
but you have probably forgotten; what else can i do?
i was just another girl who fell in love with you.

my heart is pounding
my hands are shaking.
my mind is spinning
my tears are leaking.
my pen touches the paper
the ink drips again.
reminding me
they're all the same, these men.
