Day: Dec 4, 2022

I keep buying bigger closets,

Hoping they will hide my skeletons,

But the bones moan at midnight

And my thoughts turn irrelevant.

Some pasts haunt, some destroy,

Mine craves putrid revenge.

I move houses and cities,

Then kill off all of my friends.

I wish that I could help it,

But my sweet innocence fails me.

Blood and gore call me a sister

While my values stay hazy.

I keep burying sharp daggers,

Hoping I can grow and change.

I put on long pastel dresses

And my reflection seems strange.

Some lives give, some lives take,

Mine burns continents and skylines.

One day I will get to rest,

But maybe not in this lifetime.
