Like a see saw,
Tooing and froing.
Being pulled in a maw,
Confusion neverending.
Pulled by my heart,
Anchored by my head.
I will be torn apart,
And learn from dread
Holding on for dear life,
As I am dragged down this hole.
Doubt running ride,
And the love you did stole.
Running amok is pain,
Beside this joy.
I shall do this again,
And know your ploy.
…
Love You R

‘You owe me nothing’
At least let me have this
‘Why?’
Because he’ll kill me if you don’t
‘Really, he can’t be that bad surely?’
Yes, I wish I was lying
‘Okayyy’
Please…?
‘Sure’
*smiles anxiously* thank you.
*leans in and bites her neck*
*moans, gargles blood and slumps into her arms*
‘you ok’ *pulls her close*
I am yours now…

Love you R

Sorry for the short piece…❤️🩹...
The poem:
‘Pushes’
On the ground,
Staring at the ceiling.
Hearing no sound,
But my fears wheeling.
My body a ball,
Wilted in fear.
I have taken the fall,
In the end we are here.
Teeth ground flat,
Breathing is tight.
After our chat,
Don’t want a fight.
Given up the ghost,
My heart now hush.
Let’s make the most,
My soul now mush.
…
**A well meant mess.**
****
**Shadow’s work has always been ...
The heart burns like a lighthouse guiding me in,
My head stoic like ice,
The feeling in my chest like a vice.
My mind saying ‘oh look a sin’
Burning like the sun,
Frozen like night.
Giving up the fight,
‘That looks like fun’
Let’s chase our passions,
Get lost in unfinished stories.
Mind setting aside worries,
Going with the seasons.
Paint,
Write.
Cite,
Then faint.
With release…
…
Love you R

“Look, I didn’t ask to be picked. None of us did”
*sobs*
‘But we are the only ones left’
*rubs eyes*
“Get up, we are not fodder”
‘But our friends were’
“Don’t you dare” *grits teeth*
‘What, it’s the truth’
“No, it’s not!”
‘Yes… it is’
“I buried them you coward”
‘I am no coward’
“Yes you are, you ran, you hid and told everyone you were the sole survivor”
‘…’
“Liar, run to your empty ...
My self worth lost under the surface,
Thrown like pennies down a well,
The water reflecting my face.
All left a doubt filled shell.
My self esteem resting at the bottom,
Just pushing up the water with time.
The wishes i held all but gone,
To become a rusted dime.
My name tied to all this,
Waiting to be scooped up.
With a bucket held by fists,
These sins filling my cup.
My bravery clenched under...
