A tarnished soul

Here's a story poem about a girl's tragic descent, imbued with dark imagery: A Broken Doll's Lament Tiny fingers, a gap in the wood, a scene etched in fright, A scream ripped from silence, shattering the night. Mother, a porcelain doll, crumpled on the floor, His rage, a monstrous storm, at her fragile core. Mother vanished like moonlight, a teardrop's salty trace, Leaving an emptiness echoing, a hollow, haunted space. His eyes, once distant, flickered with a hunger obscene, A twisted possession, where warmth had once been. Hands that should've held comfort, turned cold and unclean, A childhood stolen, innocence shattered, a heart unseen. His "friends," like leering shadows, joined the wicked play, Whispered threats and stolen touches, taking purity away. Teenage Gloom's Embrace Teenage years, a wasteland, beneath a weeping sky, His relentless tirade, a storm that wouldn't die. "Unworthy, a burden," a drumbeat in my head, Mirrored rejection, every hopeful whisper bled. Social circles, a mirage, shimmering just out of reach, His grip on my spirit, a prison beyond breach. Isolation's cold touch, a comfort I embraced, The world a cruel reflection, his darkness interlaced. Love's Thorns Years bled into one another, a bleak and endless night, Yearning for connection, a flicker of fading light. Men became predators, shadows of his scorn, Love, a twisted bargain, leaving me forever torn. Seeking solace in strangers, fleeting moments of touch, My body, a currency, loved not so much, not enough. Daddy issues, a barbed wire fence I couldn't flee, Anxiety's cold sweat, a constant memory. The Unraveling The world, a tapestry woven in shades of despair, No hope to chase the shadows, no solace to share. Self-hatred, a constant echo, a relentless refrain, A suffocating darkness, a soul shackled by pain. His cruelty's echoes, a haunting, venomous song, No escape from the shadows, where I truly belong. Deeper into the abyss, I plummeted unseen, No chance of redemption, a shattered, barren scene. The Final Curtain The world spun, a kaleidoscope of fragmented despair, No strength to fight the demons, no burdens left to bear. In the silence, a decision, dark and final it seemed, A final, desperate whisper, a secret forever dreamed. This fractured symphony ends, the curtain falls at last, No melody of solace, a haunting from the past. A tarnished soul, a victim, a girl lost in the night, Consumed by the darkness, with no chance to take flight.
