Gaslights

Love had finally cracked her shell 
It let her out the cold wet cell
Her prison had become her shield
But once again he cast a spell 

Secretly peaking from the dark 
Tiptoeing to follow the spark 
This path was all too familiar 
Wondering when she’ll see the shark

The beast who shredded her young heart 
This time she must be very smart 
Like butter, plans were slowly spread 
Before, her life was torn apart 

A hole chewed and swallowed her soul 
He had used his remote control 
To have her follow his bright trail
A beautiful mind he then stole 

Oh no, again, her light went out
Emotions flooded out the spout 
Spun in his web so very tight 
Stitched up her mouth to stop the shout
