Don’t know what love is but I know what it isn’t
Trying to hold onto something reminiscent
Anger, malice, and strife
Words cutting deeper than any knife
Fear creeping in and suffocating all logic
Replaying the past as if it’s chronologic
Picking up shards, bloody hands wrapped in cloth
Trying to drown out their intentional scoff
Empty apologies tossed at your feet
Like something you can’t return without a receipt
Repairing lost self esteem
Behind closed doors live things unseen
Patterns that are toxic
Gripped from the inside, can’t breathe, anoxic.
Feeling depleted
Trauma so deep seeded
Trying to escape the explosive anger,
slamming doors, and repeated clangor
Nightmarish grips on your heart
Leave you longing to depart
Feeling trapped in this dance
Fight or flight stance
Disassociate or try and negotiate
I long to break the vicious cycle
To one day have peace be the title

She wades in anoxic swamps
She feels with her heart
Her mind never still
Her soul torn apart
She craves understanding
She craves conversation
Her thirst for the dark things
Precedes her reputation
She is never sated
She is never stilled
The void in her heart
Crying out to be filled
