#defenseless
Sewing my lips shut, already knowing I don't even have a tongue. Still, couldn't stop the talk how to wage war, how to defend the wreckage of my own barriers. How to tell them — keep working, just don't drag me back here. I'm defenseless. Mother of the tears.

Mother of tears
clothed in darkness, i am robbed of my senses— though i am left with the sensation of your touches, i have become senseless undone, my defences— useless, with a single caress, a blushing mess, i try not to obsess over your intense pretense— though all is in vain, you are relentless, and i am reckless.

hopeless, careless.
Sleeping on the top bunk I got really good at crying without making a sound. Strong and resolute, is what I aspired and pretended to be. I never learned to fight, let alone to fight fair. There is no room for contention between myself and I, or anyone for that matter. Now I seem to be left defenseless, but can't tell the difference between safety, security and when I need to be defended. Everything is easy, everything is lovely. Sleep instead of thinking, like my mother before.

Asleep
The source of my pain Is now what once freed me from it Now I am left defenseless As my opponent uses my weapon To slowly, and effectively, tear me apart

Defenseless
The claws imbued their pointy fingers in my chest Lingering agony as it did not soften As I attempted to defy the abomination A figment I realised In front of me I wince and whimper but moans so mellow Are not heard on the surface Are not heard by the ears of man Fragments spread as the glass shatters As the reflection and I turn to dust Yet the claws remained stoic in its grasp A figment I realised In front of me I yield as I pour out my soul in front of them Its transparent body is tainted and distorted It is stained in dark crimson around the neck These claws have lunged at my throat for ages I merely embraced them as an old friend

An old friend
To count all the stars within our skies Would be to name every sand grain alive To pick apart the world, stare into your eyes Manage not falling over in awe; survive One compared to a runway of jewels How contend, when diamonds fall at your feet Standing, admiring, with all your fools Reaching to grab hold of your beauty's fleet Numbering the days to when you are mine In gain of knowledge to where you reside Wishing on our stars who understand time Attempts to be everything for you, cried Moon and darkness know my worth; relentless My heart is yours to hold; defenseless

Stranded by nothing The feeling of pure emptiness An empty abyss Goodbye you will not be missed The ocean lets death take over you Forcing water down your throat Choking your lungs Absolute loneliness The sound of death But the sharks have you surrounded Circling under your defenseless body Looking down, nothing but darkness Your screams are drowned out Paranoia causes you to feel something Brush your legs As though your heart turns to stone The coldest shiver trickling Slowly down your spine Realization that Help is not your savior No one is here Making your muscles drastically weaken Calling for the crashing waves You are no match for the ocean As though you are sinking A never ending free fall Ending in a crash You take your last breath The ocean is a silent killer Guilty of death
