You'Ve Won

The anger that from you seeps All around your aura it does creep Fingertips of darkness reach from within To reach the contents of this lonely den And burns as it touches the skin Oh words of fire from your lips As faces melt and begin to drip Like wax a facade before me Hardened by the innocent breeze Reaching deeper than the surface of thee Innocence there is no more Once knocking upon the door Finally opened and in you came Wreaking havoc to cause me pain No umbrella for thee out in the rain The weapon it became so very dull Trying to crack the hardened hull Then when to conquer no more Go on crawling out the door Leaving empty. Wanting more. Thinking you've taken all there is But no mistaken about the miss If only known how you failed To touch the parts that are still in jail Tempting hard but to no avail Came so close but once again no game So very close but all is the same Close enough to breach the wall Peek over the edge before the fall Looking to that setting sun Refusing here to come undone As I sadly tell you that you've won Copyright © by Scarlett Anderson
