I.
Under neon lights, she reigns—
a queen of shards,
a heart wrapped in barbed wire.
She wears ugliness inside
like a crown,
choosing coins over cradles,
betrayal over bonds.
Her whole life built
on the wreckage of those who dared
to love her,
to offer her their beating hearts—
she takes,
tearing through affection with sharp smiles,
leaving behind a trail of ruin.
Love, a weapon;
trust, a currency to be spent.
She moves through shadows,
a specter of greed,
devouring kindness,
spitting out bones.
Each night, a masquerade,
each day, a charade fades.
She's a storm,
wearing beauty like a mask,
hiding the void within.
She trades warmth for wealth,
sells pieces of a self warped long ago.
Lovers are stepping stones
to her next conquest,
discarded once dry.
She's a lesson in destruction,
a tale of caution whispered in the dark—
of a woman who would be queen,
ruling a kingdom of ashes,
alone on a throne
of her own making.
II.
Amid vows sworn to one, her fidelity swayed,
Led astray by desires, in shadows played.
Impregnated by four, during her matrimonial guise,
Her actions weaving a tapestry of lies.
Her pursuit of others’ warmth, leaving her own kin in the cold,
A testament to a heart, once warm, now sold.
In her quest for more, she lost what was true,
The innocent love of the children she once knew.
Neglect and betrayal; her legacy to the two she bore,
One mirrors her greed, a reflection hard to ignore.
The other, a life lost, a candle snuffed out too soon,
While she ****** another man dry in her marital room
The living child, a vessel for her venal dreams,
The lost, a whisper of what could have been, it seems.
Both a reflection of lives led astray,
By a mother’s depraved choices, day by day.
You, a mirror of the abyss, where empathy dies,
A lesson learned in the guise of the wise.
Yet, from the ashes of bridges you burned,
Rise the phoenixes of the lessons I learned.
In uncovering the depth of your deceit,
A welcome truth, more bitter than sweet.
A journey to sever the ties that once bound,
And in their unraveling, a new path found.
Now whole, amidst my true mate's embrace,
Found in another’s heart, my rightful place.
Her beauty not plastic, her soul not a lie,
Brilliant teeth her own, not bought by some guy.
United in vows, a bond pure and true,
Together, we welcome life anew! (can you?)
Our child, cradled in warmth and light,
Will know a love unmarred by spite.
In her eyes, a future bright and clear,
A world of kindness, devoid of fear.
What's that like, you might ask and wonder?
You'll never find out; but you've got your plunder!
So, from the depths of a past once grim,
My pack howl together, love’s victory hymn.
A family of truth, a new chapter’s start,
Your shadow long shriveled, just like your heart.
