It’s that small ache

That tiny heartbreak

That deep bone sadness

That’s tears one apart

It’s the life of crazy

The life of pain

The fuck all

That makes you go insane

The silence 

The sheep

Laying my head down to sleep

The tears

The lies

The most terrible of goodbyes

~

Why the hell should you care

It’s not like I’m a good maiden fair

I’m just here

Hiding the tear

Hiding the fear

~

It’s that tiny ache

That rips apart

Leaves one open

To a broken heart

It’s the life of crazy

The life of shame

I can’t even remember 

My own fucking name

The silence

The sheep

Broken soul at my feet

The tears

The lies

I’m too tired to cry.

Anymore.

The demon grabs hold again
I try and fail in my sin.

The demon laughs while holding me in place.

~

I thought I beat you!

I scream in his face. 

*

I thought I won!

I thought I was free!

~

“Oh dear child 

you’ll never beat me”

*

His grasp so hard against my frame

Losing sight ,my breath , my name. 

He picks me up and cradles me tight

I can barely see his face in my dimming sight. 

*

Reaching up I stroke his face.

Don’t you know i didnt want to fight you in the first place? 

*

I remember you from when I was small. 

You would pick me up

after a fall.

*

Brush off my knees 

cuddle me tight

 I knew then i would be alright. 

 *

I don’t know what I did for you to hate me so.  

But I wish you could 

Just let it go. 

 *

I know you wont …

and thats ok

I know In my heart …

that I die today .

*

 But before you kill me

 I want you to know,

 I have always dearly 

 loved you so. 
*

Each time we fight

Wither I lose or win

All I want is to rebegin

*

To that time in the past

Before this hatred that’ll forever last.

*

Before the fire and the pain

Please tell me ,

did I ever know your name?

*

My hand drops away 

from his face. 

I surrender myself

 in his embrace

 *

To tired to fight him  

No longer caring if I win 

Giving up. 

Giving in
*

I lay here fading 

being rocked in his grasp

Giving up my future

Forgetting my past. 

*

Finally

*

Peace at last. 

*

From far away I hear these words

~

“Oh dear child

We’re not through”

“I have never been angry with you”

*

“It is with love that I draw my blade

I’m trying to save you

Before it’s to late

*

With love that we battle 

when I let you win

Oh dear child I’m not your sin.

*

Im doing now 

what I did back then

I dust you off 

wipe the blood from your chin 

*

I kiss the oweys on your knee 

Just as I did when you were wee.

*

This time next month 

You’ll have forgotten once again

*

That I am not your darkness

I am your friend.  

*

One day we will battle again

 fighting until the bitter end

 Or until you finally see 

Or we are together 

*

Finally 

*

Once again.
