K. E. C.

She grabbed the monster by the throat;
How does it feel to not be able to speak?
I am in control,
I am going to speak now, and I am going to speak loud
...

I felt the urge,
I felt the demon sliding her hands up through my body again
She cupped my heart in her hands,
Then she clenched her fist around
...

He reaches for my hand
The promise of freedom
He grips my mind
And refuses now to let go
...

The words don't come during the day
for that's when all the thoughts are the most at bay.

They come at the ungodliest of hours,
...

Showered, dressed
Ready to go
Make-up, smiling
Hair in a bow
...

Hello old friend, I came to dance with you again,
Come play in the shadows, where no one will see,
You can dance any way you would like
You don't have to hide the scars
...

The evil side of me
Likes to watch me bleed
She whispers dark thoughts
And creates wars inside my soul
...

Her baby blue eyes have lost their spark
Her once gentle hands,
Now cut her arms,
Her once open heart
...

I stopped.
I let it go.
I learned to hide the hurt more.
I take a pill to feel in control,
...

You were supposed to be
Proof that love truly didn't exist.
That fairytales and happy endings
were completely unrealistic.
...

He chooses his words wisely
We call it the honeymoon
You call it love
...

It sat there untouched,
The most beautiful porcelain doll you'd ever see.
The pretty blue eyes,
The smile so tiny and sweet.
...

What if I 'wake up'
And the people that believed
Are the ones that will walk away.
...

...

And she finally did it,
she dropped the last match
to burn the last bridge;
no more pain from her past
...

Letting go of you
Is letting a piece of me live in complete nothingness
I'll never know
I'll always wonder
...
