It's just a tease
*
It's just a *joke
I'm sure her wrists
*
Can take much more
For every *word
that ached her heart
was written in red
within her skin
'Twas just the cat
*
'Twas just the *diet
*
'Twas just the *pills
That kept her silent
Help her soul
Her soul is fine
But save her perception
*
From the *false veracities
A deluge of razors
*
Raid in mind
"I'm fat , naive and eccentric"
Is what's behind
So the *purging came
Like knights in gory battle
Relentlessly ravaging
Shattering the girl from the inside
*
And all she ever felt
Was the *absurdity
Of the gory knights
Ready to slit the thread of life
Blinded by the agonizing relief
She lost her mind to perfection
And ‘twas only then when
*She whimpered in bitter regret
*
Because It was just your *tease
*
And It was just your *joke
*
That emboldened the knights
to make her think *happiness is just a hoax
