âDo you really love me?â I ask.
Itâs late at night and weâre sitting on the living room couch watching a movie. His left arm is around my shoulders and Iâm wrapped in a blanket.

âWhy?â He finally turns towards me. âWhat do you think this is?â
âI donât know. You seem so distant lately.â ...
The bride
slithered out
with the snake oil man
â the Moody one,
who swore itâs all okay
heâs got the cure for the cure,
an answer to it,
no question about it,
no turn left unstoned,
a little vial on his necklace,
a silver tongue on his red lips,
the rudder of venom
steering the sick ship

These battle with my head
They canât keep going
On and on
They just wonât stop
Why am I here
Why is today here
If all I do
Is wait for tomorrow to be better
Why am I here
If all I do is sit and bother
Messed up and broken
No way to fix
Ending again
Lonely and sad

Because again it took over
These battles I fight
I never win
My brain taking over
Now nothing is left
Hope is go...

âHowâd you-â The auburn haired man begins to ask.
âIf you say, âHowâd you end up here tonight?â I. WILL. LOSE. IT!â The bartender whips around with a shout. Her hair tussled up in a messy bun. Sweat coating the back of her neck as the pulsing techno beats assault her ears.

You run your fingers over fingers over velvet
He runs his talons through his hair
Blade under sleeve and sleeve and
The thought alone has you stifling with sweat
He takes the pot and thanks the chair
Youâre bent like a low card
You dance across the house floor
A high roller
Charmer of pockets, he does more because
Now the scene shifts from floor to room to bed
And youâll run your fingers through...
Charm is a deceptive thing. When used correctly, it is a powerful, scary thing. I learned that the hard way.
I fell for a guy. Deceptively cunning and what I thought to be sweet. He was just manipulative.
His name was James Lanfield, and I fell for him like he fell for me. Or so I thought.
Then I started to see the signs, started listening to the people around me.
