Hello?
Hi.
Who is this?
It is you.
It is me?
Yes, I am you just a few years from now.
What do you want?
To tell you this is not the way.
But, what other way is there?
Not his way.
But, what else, what other way?
Your way, the door way, any way but this.
Will it hurt?
Not as much as his way does.
But, what else, what other way?
The better way, leave a letter way, any way but this .
But what if he follows?
He will, but you can be strong, I know it.
But, what else, what is my way?
The strong way, do things wrong way, any way but his.
But, what if I can't?
What if I don't?

Come find me here
I'm over here
With locks of fire red

Come find me here
I'm over here
Eyes lifeless and dead

Some nights I fight
Others I fall
If only you were here
To pull me through it all

I found myself in the baron lands
Of love
Jade Welch Apr 2020
The darkness screams my name
Behind the whites of my eyes
And I cannot escape
I am trapped
Every night is the same
It sticks to my pupils
As though it had been drawn
Not all art IS art
Dark follows me during day
I cannot escape
And he loved me
He tells me
Every night
Behind my lids
I just laugh
Every
Time
I cannot escape
I cannot escape
I CANNOT ESCAPE
But I did
Long ago

Dead ends and nowhere to turn
Your heart it feels like home
These walls are broken down
Yet still I sleep alone

Everything sounds warm
And this sun feels oh, so green
Nothing ever makes sense
When ripped away from dreams

The temptress beckons you over
And soon you too shall run
And when I awake again
The night leaves me alone and numb

"I hate you", I cry.
And the mirror shouts it back.
