The darkness introduced me to heartbreak, a familiar face
Seems you've left your mark once again
I was drawn in by your hollow promises
A fool to believe there was ever a spark to begin
My heart aches for understanding
Destiny already etched in stone
Another disaster on the horizon
We set off on this journey as friends, now lost and alone
I'm searching desperately for myself
My shadow lingers, but lacks substance
Death's constant knocking at my door
Becoming a tiresome presence
She entered like a predator
Tearing my heart into shards
I only wanted a taste of love
Didn't expect to lose what I held so dear
Easily seen yet still blind to the truth
Awake, yet feeling dead inside
The lesson learned, the moral of the story
Slowly descending into purgatory's tide
Some may see me as last year's stock
Just another forgotten category
No glory to be found in this tale
Like John Tory, I've become a distant memory
Darkness claims its territory
Sharing me with its sister, Death
As I fade into the shadows
Lost, forgotten, just a breath.

Faded into the shadows

The girl that lives inside me
The girl inside me, she crept in like a thief in the night
A festering word, poisoning my soul with blight
Infecting my organs, a dark force taking hold
A shadow in my heart, a story left untold
She lingers in the depths, a haunting specter of pain
A relentless tormentor, driving me insane
Whispers of darkness, echoing in my mind
A curse I can’t shake, a truth I can’t unwind
I try to resist, to push her away
But she’s a part of me, here to stay
The girl inside me, a raw and primal force
A reminder of my battles, a source of remorse
She may be a thief in the dark, a poison in my veins
But she’s a part of who I am, bound by invisible chains
The girl that lives inside me, a raw and untamed beast
A constant reminder of pain, a relentless inner feast.
So I carry her with me, this girl inside my core
A reminder of my struggles, a battle fought before
She may be a thief in the night, a festering word within
But she’s a part of who I am, a story that will never end.

wounded
In the silent depths where shadows roam,
My pain resides, a silent tome.
Time's passage fades hearts, leaves them lone,
Life's twists alter destinies unknown.
The agony I've borne through years untold,
Echoes louder than tales of old.
A haunting addiction, consuming whole,
A gnawing disease, taking its toll.
Where lies the promise of "ever after"?
In this world, distant laughter.
I harbour a secret, too fearful to confess,
Afraid of losing dignity, beauty's caress.
Unready for battle, I long for light,
Craving love's chimes, banishing night.
Do not let me slip into the abyss's sway,
For life's grasp consumes both night and day.
Fragility echoes, easily broken,
Memories twisted, left unspoken.
Tragic, how hopeless memories cascade,
Rendering my spirit, fragile, swayed.
Behind painted smiles, my soul weeps,
Gracefully broken, as darkness creeps.
Within, my heart lies shattered and faded,
A testament to life, painfully jaded.

Shades of love
Take the pain that lingers, let it rise, let it flow,
Through the cracks of my soul, let emotions overflow.
Some say I'm crazy, but in my truth, I'm sane,
Waiting for my moment, to break free from the chain.
If only there was a way to erase the past,
To banish the hurt, to make it the last.
So don't just watch as I fade away,
In the depths of despair, where shadows play.
Fight for me, hear my silent plea,
Every ache, every throb, sets my spirit free.
Love once felt like a dream, so far from reach,
But with you, it's real, a lesson I teach.
Break the curse, let me see your light,
Guide me through the darkness, make everything right.
Let me feel again, with just a touch, a kiss,
With you, love blooms, it's something I'd never miss.
They can't hold me now, I'm breaking free,
Your voice, a beacon, guiding me to be.
Tough on the outside, but inside, I'm soft,
You're my monster, and I'm willing to be lost.
Hold the strings, let's dance in the rain,
Love may be fragile, but it's our eternal flame.
We're shades of madness, wild and free,
You breathe life into me, you're my destiny.
The missing piece, in a puzzle so vast,
My inspiration, my love, built to last.
It may seem uncertain, but for you, I'll try,
Never too late for love, let's spread our wings and fly.
For a girl like me, with walls held so high,
Loving with my heart, not just my mind, I'll defy.
I'll fill your heart until it's bursting with me,
Until you see, until you finally believe.
It took time to realize, your love's plea,
But now, I see it, you loved me, you love me.
