Paper-thin skin and ink splattered lips
I watch distantly through hazy eyes
From the proffered wine I take a sip
Torment and anger reside
I never love I lust I hate
As the sea turns into tide
From the pages of the book
My coaxes, innocence divine
A smile was all it took
You see you see you see me
As I glance the other way
You think that you can tame me
But I’m just an actress in this play
and a touch so close so far
Rough sandpaper scrapes my throat
I add it to my scars
Forever yearning for the sun
The light is too bright too real
As I wait for stars to come
I say it’s nothing to me
The soul the heart the mind
Is what cannot be seen to see
called life, it’s all a twisted song
A chessboard full of tricks and turns
No Queen will you find here, just a pawn
Before you turn away
The hunter’s prey I am, in kind
And as always, here to stay.
