Jihad
JIHAD
daughter of slaughter reason for my laughter,
the cornerstone of my happy ever after.
daughter of slaughter hope for the better.
my chest was once kingdom of scars,
ribs were battlefield for emotional wars.
you wrapped me around your skin as if you waited to detonate
i exploded from within the fire in me told me this is fate,
my palms searched for your flesh every time pain grew
having butterflies in my belly is something new.
your body movements for blowing winds
Orion's belt to figure you when my mind spins,
things like walk in park are a dream come through
with wounds from my past this feeling is something true.
daughter of slaughter,i am a dust of a man
emotions spring out of my body like dreams of a pen.
the frequencies around your smile still make me wave with hi and lows
your hellos made me see your four halos.
if love comes in form of broken skeleton
daughter of slaughter you are the frame that keeps me whole
