a prophecy, fulfilled…

13 Mar

it was a prophecy /
fulfilled /
you didn’t stand a chance /
it wasn’t you / it was me /

so label me ‘damaged’ / throw me away /
scold, smirk and demand /
punish me / manipulate my pain /
use my body / on my skin, burn your brand /

pick me apart / find all my flaws /
laugh at my heart / mock all my tears /
a lashing for every bad deed /
you knew to reject me / my greatest fear /

but you can’t control the spirit / i am free /
you can’t break the broken / i am free /

my deepest fear realized / rejected and despised /
but i am not yours / i am LOVED /
faced it / felt it / looked your black magic in the eye / 

it was a prophecy /
fulfilled /
“the truth shall set you free” /

bloom…

12 Mar

torn /  threadbare / 
felt my petals sag / bend / snap /
what had been magical / color / alive /
ripped from my hands / falling slowly to die /

my tears dripped to the earth / 
wet the faded bloom / life to death /
from glory returned to dirt /
you were the warmth / the sun /
you gave / then took away / my life /

black clouds / behind your dark eyes /
sent cold / ice / 
your winds of anger lashed / battered /
left my bloom tired and tattered /

your long winter / 
vengeful / unforgiving / 
storms of freezing air /
stinging and bitter /

hope forgotten /

now a breeze / warm / merciful /
snow begins to thaw /
the tears under this dirt / stirring /
restless for new life /
hungry for a foolish love / i am raw / 

a light / it comes /
furious /
brighter than death / stronger than fear /
from beneath the frozen ground /
it pushes me out of my tears /

i gave you my heart / treasures held inside /
watch me / take it back /
give it to the future / give it to the sky /
i am reborn /
savage /
you can keep your wrath /

up / go / chase the light /
fresh air / taste what i  must become /
frigid malice and tired bitterness / 
you are banished /
rendered powerless /

i open / i open / i open! /
i open / i open / i open! /

kill you

1 Mar

kill me /
the dance is still there / 4 feet / 2-step /
your breath on my skin / a hand on my waist /
moving as one /

kill me / 
your eyes are still there / dark / tortured /
little boy inside / peeks out from behind / time to time /
gazing in mine /

kill me /
sleepy time is still there / tangled sheets / bed head /
naked cuddles / heavy breathing / dreams /
never felt so safe / i love you / we said

kill me /
the sex is still there / perfect / perfect
just kill me / it was perfect

kill me /
anger is still there / tears / disappointed /
hurt you badly / hurt me back / 
the pain / rage / hate myself / a knife in my chest / 

kill me / 
the love is still there / distant / ever strong /
first morning thought / last evening dream /
sweet boy / complicated soul / you captured me /

please kill me /
the longing is still there / you own me / eternal /
breathing hurts / eyes wet / i miss you /
you will never leave me  / obsession / 
kill you / 
before you kill me /
