Shadow Heir

A shadow heir lying in wait

A child from a forgotten affair or ex lover...

No clear Waste

Money isn’t the root of all evil because if I had money I would be so happy. I would buy land and put all the people dislike on islands and slash their throats with lime and splinters from saw dust and beat the silly with silly putty and put put putt them beat them up and wringle their heads with radioactive acid...

The Lady Of Sickleham Manor

I don’t know who

Or why

But I miss…something?


I think I miss the touch

That I dream and read about

Or maybe

The love that people gave me before

We fell out.

Even if it was fake


I just want



Arms


Holding me.

Tightly.

Close.

Making me feel at home.

Feeling safe.

I’ve never

Felt

Safe.

Or at home.


I want that....

Draft

All they want is money.

And they pretend

To be my friend.


In reality they are leeches

Moochers

And liers


I don’t want this responsibility

I don’t need the money

Position

Or this estate.


I will leave it all behind

For my peace

And sanity....

Time

I find time for you.

I _make_ time for you.

But when that time comes

For us to call

I text and you don’t respond at all.


I wait

And wait

And wait

And wait


Because you are worth it.

But am I?


Am I worth your time?

I feel like you aren’t trying.


I don’t know

Am I selfish?

I rarely do this…

I just don’t like that you use me

My time

And text me when I can’t call

Like you are tryin...

Empire Of Dust

An empire of dust, built on a lack of trust


Ill-fated inheritance, with no substance


Hereditarily cursed, with an insatiable thirst


For riches untold, allowing all else to implode


Not even gaining, the whole world or retaining


Her own soul, It was her own future she stole


And her children’s, who are far from heathens


They all believe, praying for everlasting reprieve...
