Veiled Love -Part Two-

But within the nothing, something new
Within the absence, a voice grew
Whispering at first just my name
It was my voice that echoed through
Demanding I rise from my pain
Absolving me of all my shame
Insisting I remember the truth
That I am stronger than you 

With my voice also came
the witch's one true name
A reflection revealed in time
That every scar of hers was too mine
with that, the witch's veil fell to the floor
her words I could hear once more
For into my ears, they poured
From you, he will feed
And with his greed, I will breed
And from my womb his dreams I will bore

Not a version of me, but a shell
A woman to familiar with hell
It was she who wore the cost
Of a love disguising, rot
Creating from her a hallowed husk
My destiny she soon would foretell
into cluttered ears, the words unfortunately fell
A warning unheard and soon lost

My eyes are opened, unlocked
A clearer picture of you I have found 
There's was never an us 
Just you and your self lust
my heart I picked off the ground 
as I gathered my strength 
No longer afraid
With the missing piece of myself 
I'm rebound

stealthy and clever was your plan
To steal all the strength that I had
Then consume whole 
My very soul
The only thing left that I have
The only thing truly mine
But I see you now, my love 
And enough is enough
Out of your custom-built hell, I will climb

What a powerful and moving write this is. Absolutely loved reading this and i think many can feel the emotions flowing throughout this. I really felt the lines “ There's was never an us Just you and your self lust my heart I picked off the ground as I gathered my strength No longer afraid With the missing piece of myself I'm rebound” just impeccable! And soul hitting. Pleasure reading this
