One day someone will hold my body, reach
intimate places, steal breaths from my throat
and his cold barb-wired fingers will breach
my silk-woven skin, leaving me to choke.
I'm afraid I'm not sufficient enough
to let his love crawl in me, sweeping dust
away that no one has bothered to touch
after all these years. Certainly he must
not want to encounter a tornado
that destructs everything that could save me.
When he's done, there will not be a halo
above his head. He precariously
set my heart up for more disappointment.
He took my trust with the lack of consent.

Battered,
And broken,
Blood is my token.

Abused,
And scorned,
Words pricking like a thorn.

Bleeding,
And rocking,
The insane voices are talking.

Guzzling,
And yelling,
His soul she is felling.

Dying,
Being quiet,
A million voices riot:

"She was so kind,
The best of the best".
But I just weep,
For I finally have rest.

As I sit in the corner and reflect on all your lies
I have nothing left to do, but break down and cry
You knew it would end, you knew it would perish
You knew one day, we’d have to say goodbye
You told me you loved me, you told me you cared
But the rage inside slowly flared
The moments we shared replay in my head
Along with all the sweetest lies you said
You thought it was a game, you’d easily win
But in the end you felt nothing within
Deep down inside, there was a big empty space
That I now realize, you couldn’t replace
Something about you helped me see
That without your love, I’m finally free
Free from pain, free from lies
Free from having tears in my eyes
Without your love, I have come to see
All the horrid things you’ve come to be
