My Favorite Lines

Wishing will only give you false hope.
Innocence is fading with bittersweet lullabies.

Fire turns to padded walls surrounding her as they whisper false truths.

Flames burn cool upon her skin as the walls speaks hush words about her sins.

Innocence is departed and damage remains.

Dreams lined up against the white velvet padded walls.

Her sanity is questioned and they pray for her.

With a bottle to his lips his sober thoughts turn to drunken words

Vodka shots of alcoholic truth serums cause loose inhibitions.

Self-inflicted wounds mimic an autopsy.

Drop Dead Gorgeous emphasis on "Dead".

Striving for perfection she's dying of starvation.

You may be Disfigured, but I still think you're Flawless.

Irreplaceable days of innocent kisses and insignificant lies.

Lighting strikes reality slows down for a mere second and
your wishes & dreams stumble upon the floor.

She has an artistic way of dealing with constant imperfections.

She'll draw denial upon her wrist over deadly pictures in black ink.

The moon the only source of light and
your mouth breaths life into me.

She's beautiful in a simple way,she's strong in a way that makes her a bit self destructive.

The mirror says she's beautiful but her mind screams the words "Worthless" and "Mistake".

Her hands curled in a fist punches the mirror for all its false truths.

I traded my own prince charming for the prince atrocious.

Ink and blood forms together as she dries her eyes and sink into oblivion.

The times you captivated my heart and calmed the chaos.

We looked for approval instead we were condemned.

It was the Romeo and Juliet complex
the stars said we werent meant to be.

We werent willing to risk it all so we cut our ties
and familiarize with that lonely feeling of knowing
you had forever in your hands and just let it go.

Unable to face the walls of reality,
She coughs up lies & insecurities.

Her wrist bound & tongue-tied, constantly pushed aside.

Her conscience taunts her while tangled thoughts cross each other.


"Le séjour avec moi pour toujours[Stay with me forever]".

Fragments of a past love embedded in her skull.

Noose tightens,sins confessed;
they all knew she was frail.

Emaciated and injected with
hollywood dreams;a lethal combination.

A tad bit broken but equally as beautiful.

Frantic fairytale desires,
on the fastlane to mania.

Muted whispers go nowhere she's damaged beyond repair.

    Self-inflicted wounds mimic an autopsy.

    I love that line.


    Striving for perfection she's dying of starvation.

    This is another good line.

    Irreplaceable days of innocent kisses and insignificant lies.

    And you captured something special in this line.


    It was the Romeo and Juliet complex
    the stars said we werent meant to be.

    This is a great allusion.

    Thanks so much for entering my contest.
