Lady of the marsh

by @Blade-Maiden

Voices wispering "hush dear, be safe with us" Sounds of whimpering "liars, don't listen, don't make a fuss" Creature talking "you can't pretend, in your head it's all about us" ... My reflection mirrored in a strangers frown creature creeping underneath my gown is it me, sweeping give to whom it belongs, this heavy crown In your pictures the conflict hides through pretty gestures beauty subsides and love with its tiring lectures I don't give a fuck about your empty phrases turned down praises Watch me pull the plug Your insincerity amazes as I watch you feast on a deers pluck You're not a dog all you do is bark getting rid of carcasses at the bog listen closely and hear the lark we all get lost in the fog see if you can catch a spark listen closely and hear the frog you will see me in the dark
