Decay

Somewhere along the broken lines of virtue,
I lost myself.

Giving into fishnet sins,
I convince myself that
I will be forgiven.

I am your creator,
I build a sphere.

I give you a name,
I hand you a face.

A face, smiles carved in,
laughter like wrathful screams.

A piece of myself, I let you take.
You will live on it... you doll.

I have this planet, my dolls.
So soft, so empty.

Let's play a game forever.
You be the father,
you be the mother,
you be the sister,
you be the brother,
you be the...

Lover.

Let's live happily ever after
in a place where we don't rot,
and feelings never die.

Let's live forever in
this world...you play
the part I give you.

Play it right,
or I'll have to destroy you.

Destroy me.

Oh...
Did I ever tell you?
How I fell for you?
So long ago?

Destroy me.

Do you even know what love is?
I ask myself the same.

Love me.

I knew for a fact
we were nothing.

Love me.

But somehow,
I was content with just that.

I was okay with you
and your thorn covered romance.
A twisted game and hide and seek.

Love me.

You
trap me
chain me
mark me
bruise me
break me
take me.

I scream,
a lovely shade of violet
tearing through my veins.

Love me.

'Why is this happening to me?'
I used to ask myself.

Night terrors bring you to life,
even when subtle.

You monster.

I allowed it to go on.
I allowed your cruelty.

But the day came...
When I realized...

The dreams you see nightly,
the ones that seem so normal,
are only nightmares.

You'll never know the difference.

It has to end,
this game of tag.

I suppose I'll stop running
like the coward I am
and for once let you
catch me.
