my heart will still burn,
and I know I shall never learn,
how quickly love can turn,
to this pain that leaves me yearn.

let's escape,
get away for awhile,
together, anything can be accomplished,
and we will conquer the world,
start our own civilization,
loving everything we do
each new adventure we embark will be magic
other people we shall forget because they're tragic
once we've adapted there's no turning back
more love for one another than we've ever had.

we are strangers in mask,
to disappear,
our task,
to run behind a cape,
willing yourself,
not to break,
to roam lost land,
no one in sight,
to hold your hand.

It tangles, twists and twines,
loop the loop around your neck.

bounces and flounces,
swept in the wind.

knotted and split,
frayed at the ends,

tamed with a plastic,
tied into place,

only for it to slip,
and envelope your nape
.

funny how you said, you didn't want to hurt me,
when all you've done is leave scars in my memory,
and wounds in my heart.

Hey little girl,
Yes you with the curls,
And the shadows beneath your eyes,
Don’t let words get you down,
And boys make you frown,
Hold your tiara head up high,

Yes you little girl,
With the halo blonde curls,
Don’t be afraid of the dark,
For nothingness is our neighbour,
The fruit of our labour,
The comfort when you lie stark,

You, the little girl,
That craves diamonds and pearls,
Beauty, riches, she twirls,
In her short dress that grazes her thighs,
Girl, you’re meant to be wise,
Don’t flaunt what you’ve got,
Don’t act like you’re hot,
That’s all you’ve been told,
Cover up and act cold,

Silly little girl,
Playing the rules,
Trying to fit the idea of the tools.

this feeling bubbles up,
from the cauldron below,
the hot smoke pushes through,
my organs that were once snow.

salivary glands seep,
and mouth becomes too big,
as this gripping pain,
dig, dig, digs.

the spew of my tangled thoughts,
this my coping mechanism,
exposes all the evil,
as if my own exorcism.
