Twisting

turning

screams echo

into the night.

They say

daughter of Aphrodite

why don't you love me?

There's a line

you say

back.

Between love

and what we have.

You aren't even close

to love.

Your screams are breaking you

sinking you.

Can you go on?

These monsters

inside out & back again

are tearing your soul apart.

C'mon.

A little more.

Just go one a little bit longer,

your family tells you.

But the red paint is chipping off

and what lies underneath

is not a precious doll.

A little bit longer?

What is a

little bit longer, truly?

How long?

How long

till they let you

back into yourself?

Keep going, love

it's all that is left.

We burned it

to the ground,

they tell you.

Don't you hate me?

Am I not a monster?

Well, lately, they say

we want them

crazy.

You

are

mad.
