Forsaken

The sheets
Were the only witness
As to what transpired
That day
Ending up discarded
In a disheveled mess
On a cold
Barren floor
Tossed nonchalantly aside
Like they never
Even mattered
All the warmth
They ever gave
Instantaneously forgotten
As a sudden moment
Of unforeseen passion
Left them crumpled
And useless

Fury

There’s a war
Breaking out
Beneath the surface
And the heart
Isn’t winning
This time

Withering

It hurts
Everything
All of me
Aches
As love
Wilts
Slowly dying
So am I

Possessed

Here I lay
Entranced, smitten
On my deranged heart
His name is written

Foul and stained
Hungry and raw
Charmed by his voice
Ever in awe

Defiled by him
With every lewd word
The lines of reality
Skewed and blurred

Mesmerized
By every confession
He is my only
True obsession

Just because…

He knows the exact way
To pull me out
Whenever the world
Doesn’t want me about

He sees me for me
And loves all my flaws
He accepts who I am
There is no hidden clause

He keeps my secrets
And shares his own
Never making me feel
As if I’m alone

He cares for me
In a way nobody else does
And he does it all
Just because
