Revenge is bittersweet
A cozy sword in my heart
I'm over that disaster
Yet we're not apart
A creature in the corner
Encroaching in my space
A foul flavor on my tongue
Fit with such a pretty face
But then she comes to save me
My new lover and muse
I'll watch from afar
As you go askew
Both our minds on high alert
I'll gladly play this game
Even if it hurts me
We both know it ends the same
She'll save me from your pain
My heart she will avenge
She loves me more than you
Because she is my revenge
I've held many creatures
Void of life
But it's never as hard
As when it's your own
No pulse, no
Breathing
Just an empty
Shell that once was
"Oh little girl,"
They say with distain
Usually followed by a suggestion on how to change myself
But I don't want to change
"Oh little girl,"
With tears in their eyes
How can you not see,
The true feelings deep in me.
The hard ache of hiding,
It's still not subsiding.
Lying to myself
"Just put the thoughts on a shelf."
Please stop pretending that you can't tell,
