Lover

By edenscancer

I walked to hell today with your name on my lips,

where...

semen soaked childhood spoke like rust in my head,
while the grease ground held me tight like magnet sick,

where...

I carried your soft eyes in my hands to light the dim darkness
where dreams fade and light ebbs into the fading light of winters web
where the faces blur blind to binding blindness and angels hopes are dead

where my horrors play with kinder toys
where boys and girls are fed to girls and boys
where nightmares cease ceaselessly to be dreams
and the real hurt never ends
and the real monsters are the ones you can feel but can never see

I carried you with me

I walk through the dark between the day and dawn where real hell spawns

I waited there waiting for hell to come

and I said your name

and smiled

    This was dreamy like Cicre said it was all surreal but as real as the everyday when I awake. This was incredible the images you conspired into my mind, the heart flutter and lost abandonment~Gothic

  • A former member wrote: you have a different style.. dreamy, gentle, though aware of yourself in these situations.. as if writing emotions come naturally, quietly perceptive.

    Eloquently put, illuminating the harsh reality of seduction, abuse. How this is written, I can feel it, even thought I don't want to. Oh, how the heart adapts to keep sane.
