She almost stole the very beat
from this tattered worn out heart.
She was an angel, everybody knew it...
I guess everybody but me...
why she fell for me I'd never be able to tell you.
She turned my world around, upside down, inside out.
There was no words for the love we shared.
No words for the perfect fuck.
I'd already been damaged by society.
I'd been chewed, spit out, and tossed.
She calmed my ever growing anger.
Like taming the beast within.
She gave everything to me.
Mind, Body , and soul
I controlled her, manipulated her
made her do things she would NEVER imagine to do.
Her eyes were deep with sadness
but on I went. I made her feel the pain I felt.
She used to be such an angel...
I ruined her, I killed her from the inside out...
I tore at her mind, used up her body, and dimmed her soul.
I used to think she was my better half
but there is no two sides to darkness.
I left that broken angel.
She sits and waits in the shadows of my mind..
Author notes
Crying in the shadows of my mind. Is the person I will always fight, the person I've always wanted to be...The person I used to be. This story is not about two different people but the battle within one alone.
