Never ending circle
The Red Woman Apr 2019
i felt so empty inside
that i would rather feel like dying
than feel like nothing
so when my old friend came back
i greeted him with open arms
and it was comfortable
for a little while
but then it became unbearable
and i wanted him to leave
but i couldn't make him
and when he finally did leave

compliments
The Red Woman Jul 2019
the only compliments
that i will ever

Ocram ache
The Red Woman Nov 2021
every time I see a, or any
part of
you
my heart hurts,
aches

out of sight
out of mind
but i can’t erase you
traces of you
linger
everywhere
my whole existence somehow
intertwined with yours

maybe it’s just that
you have a piece of my
heart
- it’s unbearable

I long for either
someone else,
to take the rest
or for you to take,
what has always
belonged
to you

i sit here
with a heart that is
burning
it's burning fiendishly

but you don't extinguish my fire
instead
you pour alcohol on it
and then you leave
me

there's no sky

so i'll settle for the red blood that's appearing
in my attempt of trying

a cup of stones
The Red Woman Nov 2019
from birth
the cup is filled with water
dust will and can land
directly in your cup
but fear not
for it goes to the surface
stones are a whole different thing though

than your water in your cup
they’ll push it out
leaving you
with a cup of stones
and tiny spaces with water
that used to be clean
