ghost queen Mar 2023
hate and rage
lashing out
acting out
hurt for hurt
when i feel so helpless
ghost queen Mar 2023
youth, beauty, ***
power, influence, currency
ephemeral, fragile, purity
young, old, mortality
look at me
what do you see
am i pretty
do you want me
what’s my value
to you
to me
ghost queen Mar 2023
so beautiful
passionate
you cry
not know why
something stirs
resonates
welling up
from your subconscious
seeking connection
any intimacy
physical emotional
so as not to feel
alone
vulnerable
inwardly pleading
rescue me
ghost queen Mar 2023
queued up
waiting to die
of a terrifying bliss
yet to come
emotionally blunted
benzos in the blood
feeling neither pain nor pleasure
whipsawing laughing crying
how to squelch the fear
the anxiety
reality fades
evaporates before your eyes
not happy sad just numb
rocking to and fro
******* on a thumb
waiting for sleep beauty
who never comes
ghost queen Feb 2023
don’t be afraid
child
you’re young
the best is yet to come
ghost queen Feb 2023
there is a sadness to spring
as the days grow longer
the weather warmer
there is nowhere to hide
no excuses to give
missing the cold
the dark nights
sitting with a blanket
by the fireplace
hidden from the world
and it’s problems
ghost queen Feb 2023
a fresh coat of paint
on the walls of a tomb
haunted by ghosts
too young to have died
or old faded and forgotten
who remembers them
who really cares
