My body was a temple, But they treated it like a lease— Temporary pleasure, Then left without peace. I ached for love in all the wrong hands, Mistook desire for sacred commands. Now I’m wreckage, broken within— A haunted shell beneath the skin. It makes me want to tear it apart, To scrape their names off every part. I loathe this flesh, this tainted frame… What once was holy now burns with shame.

Ruins
My body was a temple, But they treated it like a lease— Temporary pleasure, Then left without peace. I ached for love in all the wrong hands, Mistook desire for sacred commands. Now I’m wreckage, broken within— A haunted shell beneath the skin. It makes me want to tear it apart, To scrape their names off every part. I loathe this flesh, this tainted frame… What once was holy now burns with shame.
I hate myself
