You swooped into my life like a knight in shining armour,
Promised me the life of a fairy tale,
All the riches and gold i could have as your queen.

How was I supposed to know you were the dragon,
that guarded me from the world and took me from the one i knew.

I couldn’t see past your pretty words coming from that mouth with a serpent's tongue.  
But now i can see you for all you were
Scales and all

When you flew away i could see the ruins and the towns you burned,
You told me they were the results of a war you fought,
But its clear they are the rubble of lives you came into and burned to the ground.
this is easily one of the most painful things i have written and i was afraid to write from the sheer pain i have been in the past few weeks.

I’m a hopeless romantic

And for that reason,

I ignore the warnings in my head

The ones that say that i’m

Just repeating history.



You see,

Most people burn themselves

And learn to move further away

from the flames.



I, however, burn myself

Mumble some profanity

And continue to feed the fire.

Ash
You lit me up, then put me out
Tried to pick up my broken pieces
Repair what you destroyed
Realizing too late, I’ve become ash
Never to be whole again

her very nature burned alive,
taking everything around her with it.

and when she shined the brightest,
the whole world was set on fire.
she didn't know her own strength.

you’ve been told that you love too much
as if the way they receive it is your fault and not theirs
you’ve been brutalized and burned
and they kept saying that maybe if you were a little less of this and a little more of that
you wouldn’t keep waiting for people to hurt you
like maybe you should work on giving in moderation
but believe me when I say
someday you’ll find someone who welcomes the depths of you
you felt like you had to hide from everyone else
he will never reduce the galaxies in your mind to mere constellations
he will love the way you give and the words you write
but he will love the way you love the most

You make me upset,
I know that you won't regret.
I will give you the death,
Like a burned cigarette.
Everything will come to the death.

Raging is my soul
A fire hotter then ever
******* Witch
A VERY ******* witch
It's karma coming for you
Bawhahahwhaha
This will be fun to watch
It's truly entertaining
To see what karma
has in store for you
You can only play
You can only lie
With your handsome face
But selfish soul
You tried to use me once more
So karma's coming for you
Maybe with the pain
The loneliness your gonna face
You might feel a smidgen
of how , I hurt & toiled
So ,  I say so mote it be
Karma's coming
Shes knockin on door
So , I will grab a chair
Bawhahahwhaha
This witch is having the last
laugh
Poor little man
you should never play
games with a women
who has a witches soul
