To M

From J

By Jaclyn Gilbert Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Just because you ran from your shame doesn’t mean that your truth can hide

Mmmm, I bet the words tasted so sweet after they left your lips speaking your selfish lies

Does your black heart even bleed after all of the love you lead to death with every beat

Your hollowness of gloom is why you always felt such doom

The moment I caught the sly fox of a dark soul you ended up to be

Was the moment your time began of misery

The pain you thought you felt was but a whisper of what is to come

Because not for long are you allowed to feel so comfortably numb

It will all unwind and send you into pieces in the dark where you will divide

Divide, dive-in, divine, dive-out

I hope your knuckles bleed while no one listens to you scream

You lead me to believe I meant more

While...yeah, I heard you screaming at your front door

What scared you more?

Someone actually caring or the fact you fucked and blackened a pure hearted soul?

I ran from you at the beginning because I felt your intentions and knew them misleading

But you kept circling around me like the shark you’ve always been

Sensing my fear because I wanted to hold my love dear

But you didn’t care, you never did

You just wanted what you thought you deserved leaving me stranded in the end.

How does it feel underneath that mask you have sewn to your face?

I hope you feel the fire ive built under your soul so your conscious becomes aware of what terror is yet to unfold.

- a woman in acceptance, after dealing with every false entrance it is my turn to exit
