Letting You Dance

I’m afraid you can’t see your own delicate beauty

Because I’ve become as addicted to watching you torture yourself

As you have become obsessed with putting yourself through pain

Your porcelain feet, fragile and small

That danced so freely, so intricately

Now stomp through the shards of a broken existence,

The one you created for yourself

You’ve gone back to your torturer

The man who left you broken

Painted his own self-satisfying portrait

With the deep-red stains from your skin

Shall I let you continue

Your broken waltz with destruction?

He leads you

You let him

Caught in-side

Hyp-no-sis

Mind con-trol

 

Will a fatal cascade be your means of escape?

The fall of a tragic ******

Used to getting her fix,

Your daily dose of pain

 

When you are mangled and twisted

Bruised with the fresh knowledge of someone else’s cruelty

I’ll cover your wounds

And ease your pain

 

Help you reset your emotions to be battered again.
