High Maintenance System Failure

Chaos spreads like metastatic growth In carefully designed manipulation Family therapy The puppet mistress casts her chords Feeds her prey with miserable traction Border lines crossed Control is the trade she plies in glee It corrodes and shelters dysfunction Emotional bribery Responsibility declared abandonment Regrets resentment sadness anger You make your bed and … Vile venom sheathed in candy wrapper She’s burning all her feeble bridges Retreat the only hope 06th February 2020
