Wishing for sacred peace.

Your eternal grasp,

Captivates,

And holds me down.

 

My ground shattering,

Constantly shaking.

Due to you,

Forever breaking me.

 

With your twisted games,

And wicked lies.

Now my soul only cries.

 

My mind screaming,

Begging and pleading.

Wishing for its sacred peace.

 

To be whole again,

I wish.

My body, soul, mind, and heart,

Have reached beyond breaking.

 

It's not even worth faking.

◄ Wildflowers petals dropped

Her demons, and the sharks ►
