First Lift Through Life

Trying to understand at such a young age, She will have to know at some stage, Transformed, changed, different identity, Pleasing and pleading, needing to flee, Good friends, more than friends, Touch of lips into heaven it sends, Trying to grasp tightly on self-control, All a lost cause, swallowing me whole, Key in the lock was hurtful, Like banging your knee on a stool, The betrayal lying right at my fingertips, A lethal haven, tanks and battleships, Muddled words on the tongue, After that, it’s all just sung, Banished from the Estate of Emotion, Thrown to the sharks luring in the ocean, Curses while on stage, Into the microphone, caged, Hateful glares pitched my way, Soul disintegrated. Gone. Decayed,
