Cradled in her arms, is her heart, her heart which knows no end, her heart which has been revived over and over and over but still it yearns to give more and receive less than deserved.
It’s the tears and wails of sadness it emits from dust till dawn leaving her unable to breath, to forget the torments and thorns prying her mind till she breaks down to shambles.
Within her mind, are horrors you could not fathom, a dark void of desolation.
Within her mind, are words thrown to torture, strain and break her.
Within her mind, are doors, hidden within are snakes, a new breed, a new devil unheard of he calls you friend, sister, lover.
He lures you in with his dashing smiles and hoax concern, he moves closer and when you least expect he strangles you with his face unveiled.
It hits hard but the lesson is harder and the result is the hardest.
Because, within her mind
All who came close were roses that drew blood.
Within her mind was a kiss softer than a bated heart.
