Bekah Oct 2024
A thousand lifetimes
Inside of ocean blue eyes
That I could drown in
(Haiku)
Bekah Oct 2024
My sweet Seraphine,
What have you done
They labeled you a monster
So is that what you’ve become?

I knew your heart was fragile
But it wasn’t made of glass
The icy chill that froze your soul
Surely cannot last

They dimmed the light inside you
When they ****** you to this place
But the flame that burns inside you
Could never be contained

My sweet Seraphine,
In the darkness of the night
The stars will guide you home
For they will be your light
The name Seraphine is derived from the Hebrew language meaning burning ones. Also used to describe celestial beings.

In the end,
It was beautiful
It was mankind
Who made it ugly
Bekah Sep 2024
At 16, I was a shadow of myself
A reflection of all my doubts and fears
But now, when I look in the mirror
I see resistance
And a person who faced their demons
I am no longer bound by the bitterness
Fueled by my own insecurity
Gone is the girl who questioned her worth
And in her place stands the woman
Who knows the value of herself
Bekah Sep 2024
Lilac fields at rest
Summers eternal embrace
She sleeps gently now
Bekah Sep 2024
The memory of your hands
Are burned into my skin
And oh, how I long to feel
The touch of them again

Your mouth is soft like silk
And the taste is that of sin
This little game that we play
Is one you’ll always win

You’ve burrowed into my mind
Like a parasite of the brain
The only coherent thought I have
Is how you say my name

I’ve been ruined beyond measure
And it’s you that I do blame
Loving you is a wicked desire
That I do not wish to tame
Bekah Sep 2024
I am the fire they set,
The one they can’t contain
The whisper on the wind
That calls out your name

I will not break
Or bend, or crack
Paranoia will seep in
Waiting for my attack

I will not go gently
Into the night
I will lurk the dark corners
Deep in your mind

I am the water
That washes away
The sins that you buried
To hide all your shame
