A moonlit dance,
filled with new romance.
It's been years
since the the sparks began.
Feelings have spread,but they have often fled.
We have come
and we have left.
Yet here we are,
your hand in my hand.
I'm captured again.
you have my heart.
to the one who had my heart first

Only four letters
and simply one syllable;
such a dreadful word.

you stole my light
when i told you to stop
and you ignored my red light
and kept going
like my body was undiscovered land
and you were a colonizer.
perhaps my asking you to stop
turned you on
made you hungry.
you looked at me with your hungry eyes
like i was fresh meat
for you to take and have for yourself
ignoring my stop signs
cries
screams
because i am nothing more
than an object to you
made for your manipulation and pleasures.
consent is key

I lose myself when you look at me with those cursed eyes,
I don’t know why I become hypnotised by your pretty lies,
I realise but still deny that you make me cry,
Id rather die than leave this lie,
But why,
Because I love you.

I was always told when I was younger,
that sticks and stones may break my bones,
but names would never hurt me.

But
Bones will heal,
bruises will subside
and cuts will mend.

They never told me that the names would stay with me.

The glint of gold
Brings beads of water
Not from the pool of nectar
But from the depths of my soul

The temple of memories
Of contented wonder
Burned by the heat
Streaming in the humid air

Blessed water
Let it cleanse your soul
And heal your heart
Forever with a glint of gold

Unimaginable

In a world of wonder
Wishing for an ending
An unthinkable possibility
Stumbling to an unimaginable place

Each day brought torment
A commute of tears
Barely able to see
But no reason to care

Not able to function
Thoughts consumed with grief
Seeking a way out
The unimaginable, possible?

The long straight road ahead
Brings no relief
Pressing the pedal
May release the grief

In the darkness
There is a torch
To guide you along the road
Recalling the sadness
The unimaginable

It took me seven years
to realise
the words in my mind
were too deep for
my mouth to dig up
I thought it was easier
to open my skin
and let the truth
pour down my arms

It took me seven years
to realise
nobody should be allowed
to touch parts
of your home
or hold pieces  
of your heart
that you don't yet understand

It took me seven years
to realise
I will wear these scars
forever
I'll carry them
through every smile
every kiss
every concerned gaze
I'll carry them
to my grave

It took me seven years
to realise
the pain carved
into the walls
of my castle
etchings of
attempting to disappear
are not a story of weakness
but a tale of
how I survived
