Do you know how much agony a poetess has to feel
to give birth to the words that need a life, so real
it twists inside of her like a medieval knife
when she faces head on the depth of her Jane of arc fight
She must withstand the cold
as she swims her way to the bottom of the ocean floor in her soul
where there live bones, stories untold
Pain is all I’ve ever known
I've lived in many glass and brick houses but never had a home
The raven watches me
I hold up my arm but it never flies to me
it doesn't need anyone, its in love with its shadow
Am I the black crow
But music, oh, my oldest friend
The one thing I've always had, no beginning no end
Summers scorch, but I survive
Im a caterpillar but i'll never learn to fly
I was okay for so long
I should've known it would go wrong
You look so pretty when you're talking to me,
and just for a second, I want to see what you see.
'Cause if you saw yourself in the way that I do,
you'd realize your worth-
and maybe I'd realize mine too
If I let you borrow my eyes, would you return them unscathed?
Hovering a black cloak
over you,
wearing a smile so
strained;—
That could make one
be lost
in the deep mist,
you wait in
silence.
In the depths
of your complex codes
lies the
unsolved mysteries and
the truths of
my past.
My worn eyes
can't reach you till
your name is recalled
from my lips stitched
together with
thick wires.
Will you
ever reveal
yourself?
Left in Confusion...
I feel like an intruder
imposing on my life
this makes sense when you see
that there once was a little girl who was happy
and then came along me
I ruined her, tainted her, intruded on her
she will never be the same
and my intrusion is to blame
this black feeling won't go away
it never leaves, wants to stay
oozes out of everything I do
and the sad part is, it's made of you
it tells me to hurt, says I deserve pain
it leaves its mark, an ugly stain
I can't even cry
and I don't know why
I want to
I really do
this black mark can only be erased by you
key
Where is the key
you locked me here, for what reason?
let me go, I want to be free
tell me tell me what is the key
is it truth? would you like me to say
yes, I know I'm awful, ugly, liar, betrayer
is that the key?
is admitting these things what will set me free?
you locked me here
where is the key
please
I need the **** key
I just want to be free
sometimes
I just want to leave
no note
no warning
no goodbye
just me
gone
cut all ties
start again
with new hellos
just me
gone
