I've spent a lifetime chasing you
Sweet temptress
Captor of my clenched black heart
My temptress
You left me with a broken and battered face
Sordid temptress
It's my mouth that fuels your thirst
Divine temptress
You're a sneak and a sinner
Evil temptress
I'll bleed for you no more

The widow of a man who gouged his eyes out to spare himself the burden of authenticity is seated comfortably among the distressed. Unchanged is how she remains. If it's truth they want she'll feed it to them with a ***** spoon.

When darkness finds you
It never lets go
A hold tighter than a noose
I cannot see myself anymore
If you blow I will break
A running whisper
Turns into a tasteless joke
Fail me and you will fail too

The shrinking violet that's what I be
Tucked away in the murkiest of dreams
Slipping out of the back door consistently
No one sees me, I'm an anomaly

What people don't know is what they fear the most.
Be kind, be open, be secure with your own thought.
Don't buy what this world is selling.
If it has a price tag, it's not going to soothe the soul.
The wealth of inconsistency is intended to confuse.

Elegant body with wilting eyes
If you don't know you
How can anyone know you
They will only consider
What they have been told
They'll have it out for you
Oh yes they always do
Sneering and jabbering
Judge you and misuse you
Be strong being of beauty
Or the ignorance of others
Will damage your subtle mind
theabstrusepoet Sep 2017
Every time that noose tightened
I grew more and more frightened
Bearer of back breaking weight
Bones chafed left in a weak state
Taken and took rattled and shook
You've become the wicked crook
Thief of my beloved memories
