The burgundy lighting Is oh so exciting I'm lush and inviting For all to see My body is moving The dance Im resuming Cigarette smoke is pluming Look at me I dance for hours Until early hours For higher powers Whom pay for me To leech off my fleet and to preach on deciet to forgive or forget I don't know The threat is consuming You hate me? Well sue me I don't give a **** about what you please If you were halfway decent I'd let you get even In light of the recent events But I'm just a body Meat to be discarded I am not your Bunny And I am not Holly

Harlot and the rabbit
April The month you died The month I tried The month he lied The month I cried Death, a funeral, assault, my birth How can I celebrate my worth, when I walk campus and all I see Is you in the trees, his whisper in the breeze and the blue ribbons that line the paths and cause my heart to freeze Awareness month, it's meant to heal, to mend, Instead, it breaks me, on and on and on and on, without end. The feelings I bury that rise and surge, In April’s light, they scream, they converge. Spring unfurls, its colors bold, Yet all I feel is winter’s hold Your fading pulse, your fragile frame, His breath that stains my cheek with shame. The world sees blooms, the grass revived, The frost undone, the earth alive. But I see you, and him, entwined Two ghosts that April’s cruelty binds. I cannot weigh your souls as one: You, my mother, a radiant sun, Taken too soon, your warmth now gone. Him, a monster, whose shadow clings, A curse that festers, bites, and stings. You both once held me, worlds apart One with love that filled my heart, The other with a twisted art. One I grieve, a loss too deep, The other I flee, even in sleep. Your absence haunts my dreams with pain, A love I’ll never hold again. His presence stalks my nights with fear, A specter I pray won’t reappear. April, you break me, year by year, With memories that I cannot clear. Yet still I rise, though scarred, to claim A life beyond this month of shame.

APRIL
Everytime you Whispered In her ear The car swerved Each time You slid Your fingers Over her shoulder I grew unnerved You looked At me And said Your fantasy Was between us I never hated you more than then She sobbed I cussed I hope Someday You know how it feels To want to **** a man And drive away

I Still Day Dream About Gouging Your Eyes Out
Tried to wash the scars embedded on me Submerged the voices that left me haunted Drowned the visions from the tall red oak tree Remembering when you asked to “flaunt it” I tried to scream, but choked on nonsense words Your malevolent laughs replays in my mind No evidence, but me and the blue birds How hard is it for one to just be kind? You left me with pain, you left me to cry I can never get my innocence back Yet, I still love you, but I don’t know why I may not remember all that happened, But my body does, my body remembers it all

Red Oak Tree
Diving into my insecurities, Replaying the same mistakes Unfolding memories from the deepest crease, Mesmerizing the unforgettable words Reminiscing over faint situations Tears trembling down my face, A wave of nerves tip toe down my spine, Tearing my mind into pieces Thoughts are scattering around, Blemishing the good thoughts Peeling away the flesh of my sanity, Revealing layers of my anxiety Losing sight of what’s right A misunderstanding of my identity, A willingness to be distant From the people I love dearly

Self - Discovery
I know it's hard for you. I know you try but you can't possibly understand what it's like to have the weight of someone else hold you down and pull consent from your lips like the lyrics of their favorite song. I sat in the shower until my skin itched and burned a smoldering red and the water ran cold because all I wanted was to feel CLEAN again. I packed up everything I loved and drove hundreds of miles to feel SAFE again. I will not lie to you...... both of those things have yet to happen. And I know it's hard for you. Because you are strong and people believe what you say. You have never had to defend your innocence and purity. You never had to defend what you were wearing. Even to bed. So I understand what you mean when you tell me it gets better. But YOU don't actually know this. You don't know what it's like to wake up every night from the same nightmare. Sweating and crying because for some reason yo think he's still there. The weight of his body holding you down and drawing consent from your lips like his favorite song. I know it's hard for you. But have you ever considered that it's harder for me?

Get Over It
I apologized Because I thought Thats what you wanted to hear I laid My life In front of you And told you To do as you pleased I took the blame For what you did Instead of the help I needed so desperately You pushed me Into the grave You had dug for yourself And I buried myself Willingly

Effing ******
It is this, this sitting here in the tub, this being here, this getting wet, and he having done what he did, and the inability to wash him away, his touch, the feel of him, the smell of his being near, and in, and on, and it is this sitting here, and looking at the water, and the wetness of skin, and him, and him, and me, the she, the her, the undone, the one, this is it, wet, and touched, and unable to get the head around him, and he, and it, and ****

VICTIM.
Please don't touch me, sir I know you mean no harm No, you cant hold my hand Or stop this car Please don't love me, sir I know it doesn't look hard But when you take away my clothes You'll see the scars You took the parts of me That weren't all that pretty And you turned them into a damaged city You tore away my flesh piece by piece And I walked home alone In a damaged city
