Meera
I don’t want your fingers to bleed
while holding the pieces of my broken heart

I don’t want your eyes to cry
for the pain that lives inside me

I don't want your tounge to taste blood
each time it whispers my name

I don’t your hands to shiver
while reaching for my cold soul

I don’t want you to suffocate
while drawing air to my lungs

I don’t want you to consume
the venom that flows inside my veins

I don’t want you to break down
in the process of healing me

So I’ll love you but only from a safe distance
Knowing that we don’t belong to each other
I’ll always love you
But will never show it
i think it's better this way
why are so many things so tempting?
why do people let their hearts rule their hands
rule their mouths
rule their minds
why do I?
I can't control my hands, my words my mind
the seduction is there
every step of the time
the rules the lines they all become blurred
and all my thoughts just whirl and stir
a cesspit of temptation
to do things I shouldn't
to do things that would hurt others but make life easier,
to disobey the rules
I've followed my entire life
don't spend too much time reading and study instead
the seduction is there
pulling along
changing my ways
making everyday a little harder
but
a little bit better
a cruel mistress with  
the best
of intentions
no notes suffice.

I'm waiting for my mother
I twiddle my thumbs idlly
I'm trying to look away from
The chocolate bar that's staring at me

"Look at me!" It whispers softly
I'm struggling to avert my eyes
"You'll feel better when you eat me" it
says
With an effort, I ignore its lies

I walk around the chocolate shop
Like a predator circling it's prey
This temptation is just too great!
My feet can't seem to walk away

"Eat me! Eat me!" The chocolate chants
Someone save me from this torture!  
"Don't leave me all alone" it says
I can't take this anymore

Suddenly, my phone rings
My mother has finally arrived!
I turn my my back on the chocolate
My face glows with pride

I didn't succumb to my desire
I did it! I resisted!
I held on, I stayed strong
Even when the chocolate insisted

I smile as I reach the car
I'll tell my mother about my ordeal
I think of how proud she'll be
And of how happy I will feel

But before I utter a single word,
She hands a packet, beaming wide
She says "look what I got for you!"
I can't wait to see what's inside!

A prize for resisting temptation?
Oooh! What could it be?
I open the packet and look inside
And a big fat chocolate stares back at me!

afraid to close your eyes
you slowly dive into peaceful sleep .
awaken by the terror of the night
you hear yourself screaming. then a sudden wave of wind passes over your body.
awake but not alive,
you're paralyze.
as you struggle to open your eyes, your breath goes, pitch black is all you see under pasted eyelids, that refuse to open

buried in the dark of the night
lying in a cage
trying to escape the devils trap
but there's no way to go
not one chance to move
then your body rebels, as you think "maybe I should...". then the world pauses.
now even your mind is paralyzed.
nothing to think of, but your mind flooded by an ocean of thoughts
and every joint in your body refuses to move
like a magnet, the negativity of the situation repels against the little positivity left in you
creating a force, stronger that you can bare.

then a soft voice appears
a soft, painful mourn,
a request for help
but its your voice,
your voice outside of you
you sense your own presence
"but how can that be??!
but that's me!"
puzzled and confused

only at the thought of that, there's pain
pain consuming your body
like a heavy stone being placed at the center at your heart
now you can't speak. you can't think. at least not about anything but the pain
scaring your body with the weight of its life,
and piercing your soul, to retrieve its  lost humanity

stuck in a world of pain
where the night never seems to surprise you.
your eyes opens in the vividness of the night
to your relief.
only to be ****** back into terror
as a black flowing shadow approaches you
the electricity in its body is released, sending shockwaves down your spine
your spine is paralyzed, now you're truly glued to your bed

its flowing arms, takes hold of your only way to live
and its possessive eyes gazing strongly to yours
the terror now grows.
there's no way to look away
your eyes refuses to cooperate
forced to look
tension grows.
you panic.
you cry.

this shadowy intruder releases
and like a gust of wind quickly passing
but the pain and terror remained
wounded.
the scars on your body a reminder of want inhumanity felt like.
you awake confused.
frightened. weak.
you know this wasn't a dream

You once threatened my innocence with words harsh and thoughts that ran wild,
creating sensations that numb the mind, heart and soul
But keeps the body alive, vulnerable!
Aware you take advantage, controlling the corpse like body for your good
Fulfilling you desire to win me over as i enjoy the momentary pleasure, which slowly, suddenly fades into regret and resentment
You leave me pleading with my mind and soul to grow stronger for it won't be long until come again whispering your beautiful lies into my ears.
Lies i believe knowing the truth,just for one moment of pleasure in exchange for a lifetime of regret

But now your wispers are no longer heard,
No feelings of resisting
But guilt before it all begins
Aware of the thoughts u create
Its my own mind that renders its self numb, helpless
In the palm of your hands I've come to fulfill your desires without complaining or resisting
I thought one day I'd be able to over come this but little did i know it's become a part of me an infected *****
That suddenly attacks the body, when least expected
I can't resist any longer
again i fall into the devil's snare

— The End —
