The Battle

He attacks me suddenly 

Erupts like booming thunder

And all I do is wonder

If things will ever change 

Because I feel his heavy power

Quick hands 

Sharp teeth

Ready to devour 

The parts of me still left 

He consumes me 

But at least I don't consume him

Because I don't want to become him 

If he takes me away 

At least I can escape 

But if I let him in 

It's only so long until I take his shape

  • Delicate

    I am delicate,

    not fragile,

    please handle me as such.

     

    I was crafted,

    perfected,

    but I will crumble under your touch.

     

    I am easy to break

    because I am not meant to be broken,

  • Wanted

    I wonder if I can't get over you

    Because I can't get over being wanted

     

    There was something special about being wanted

    Knowing you'd talk for hours about me

    And go out of your way to see

  • Reality

    I hold my breath 

    Until we are free 

    Free 

    To simply 

    Be. 

    And I watch myself suffocate

    Forgive me. 

    I forgot what is of our reality
