Venus (Book 2)

heal

I have gone

and I have changed

no longer I

that used to be

sadness

has given me away

into the light

would I run?

no

for the dark consumes me

darkness

could be a light

stars

hide from my eyes

and the moon

embraces the night

yet I do not sleep

sleep hurts my heart

it aches

and longs for people I should not think about

my hands

and my mind

have grown tired

of those who come

take

and yet still

do not give

why can't you return my kindness?

at least give me something

but see,

I will not beg

because

if will not let me take

then I will not give

just leave me be,

sharing my pain does me no good

no matter how much pain I have

no one will shy away from talking to me about their own

am I your shelter?

am I your home?

can't you see that I am tired

for the cold winds have gone into my bones

the cold will sit till my bones will crack

betrayed

betrayed by more than a friend

betrayed I am

given all I had

yet what I had gotten

was a pain in my heart

sharp as a knife

it sliced it up and fed it to the rats

yet I,

I am the one that apologizes

for misbehaving

but I did not behave like an animal to say

that I am sorry,

what had I done?

that made you decide to prick me with your evil pins

afraid to lose another,

so I forgive, I forgive and break the walls that I had spent weeks,

maybe years building,

and yet it tumbles down

like nothing more than a snowman
