The blood that leaves my skin then replaced with the painful truth,

If anyone would leave then of course it would be you.

Betrayal feels like a gunshot wound killing you

Slowly

Painfully

Betrayal feels like a knife stabbing your heart

Again

And again

Betrayal feels like your soul leaving your body

You try to get it back

You try to grasp onto what little life you have left

But just like that it’s gone

And you feel as your childlike innocence and love for life fades with it

You tr...

Will you go to the forest with me?

We can sit and watch the animals mingle

Guess which critter rattles the bushes

I know a spot where the sun hits the lake just right

Hey, let’s go to the forest again!

like this utopia floats above our skies

A God no one else has known

Her sweet words lull me

Her halo seen shining

If you cut off her wings

I take a knife to your heart

Place it beating on the altar I made her

From bones I cut off

Silky tears woven into an offering for my God
