My Reckless Self
They told me that I
murdered you,
placed you on side of roads
naked, broken in two.
My heart leaped, each morning
I woke without you by my side.
When I was able to glance in
steady mirrors, and saw no
more of you
A smile shone across my face.
I am different, no worries
For I will be victorious.
They say that I have freed myself.
No more will your face taunt
my restless nights
No more will my mind give way
to sinister games.
At night when I turn over,
I leap for joy for I can not see
your face.
When words are spoken and an echo isnt granted
I sigh with ease.
I was different, no troubles
My life seemed to of changed
I wake with fear in my soul
No
Please NO!!
My knees buckled from anchored
ships weighed upon them.
When day turns to night...
In horror stands this merciless
being bearing
deep into my soul.
I hear an echo..
In desperation, I claw at this
unrelenting image, inflicting pain,
in hopes it disappears.
Only to hear her laugh
as crimson rain
streams down my face.
Cold-blooded image whispers...
I WILL NEVER LET YOU CHANGE.
