SoVi - Hello Poetry

SoVi Oct 2018

All I felt with you darling
Was a battlefield

Trapped in my mindscape
Trying to find an escape

None of your words soothe me
All I felt was apprehension consuming

These final words were meant to hurt
To act against all the pain you made

The time we have spent
Is now wasted

Laughter that echoed
Is now a hollow sound

How could we let this get this far?
Did we try to change this at all?

It is better if we just leave this alone
Lets not repair a broken soul

I want to thank you for the time given
Now it's time to say goodbye

Dresses

And I'll be wearing black and blue
It's my new favorite color
To hide all the bruises
From my ex-lover

I don't like this dress
It's too tight for me
So I do nothing all day
Just sit down and cry

No, it is not because of him
No, this is not blood
I just love to curl up in a ball
Keeps me safe and warm

I love me some white dresses
Red seeping through
Making lace into a fright
Dripping trails in the night

White becomes pink
Stains on my porcelain skin
Painting my room a crime
Washed away with tears

I will wear a black dress
Makes my sickness stick out
Matches my old stab wounds
Now I don't pretend anymore

Cradle by old oak
Chorus and strings echo around
Sending on my way
Into a place where there are no dresses

House Fire

I was calling you
During yesterday
All the moaning
From your bedroom
Must have muffled
My screaming
You didn't hear me
I was pleading

For salvation
From damnation
Some sign of
Exclamation

But you didn't answer
Now I am here to suffer
burning with desire
like a vibrant fire
But what does it consume
Is it me or you?

Abandon

I always wonder why you were so brave.
I realize it is because you're afraid to die in pain.

Is that the reason why you left me behind?
Worried that saving me will end your life.

The Fox off the Pavement

Do I know your name?
Don't be shy, I am tame
Have you seen the raven
Flying inside the haze?
Or the black cat
Walking through the buzz?
Maybe the white wolf
Laying in the alleys?

No, I guess you don't
You don't remember do you?
Don't remember the faces or the places
Of mistaken voices, misplaced memories
Gas-lighting has done a real number on you.

They told me about you
Your little white bunny
You tried to escape me
Wanted to be free
Thought that people
Would hide you from evil
You thought I was that evil, huh.

But a word of advice from a sage conjurer

Don't try to glide through the crowd,
I don't want to see you drown.
I want you to escape
This fool's paradise.

Singer's Nightmare

I don't know why the song is playing
My voice is slowly fading
Blood leaving my lungs to escape
Now I am hurling my dedication

I don't why the song keeps playing
My voice is about to break
I just want to hear the ending
But I am trapped in a cage of creation

Changes

Baby, I don't understand this
Is it worth it?

Baby, I don't understand this
Is it worth it?

I don't understand this
Is it worth it?

You're making it hard to see

Making it hard to see

If I still want to be

Baby, I don't understand this
Is it worth it?

If you leave me behind will I live on

I don't see it
In the future
My heart beating

I don't understand
It isn't worth it
To keep living
