Behind the curtain...

Trauma when it's a toxic relationship

Rose tinted glasses shattered all around,

While I cried on my knees bent upon the ground.

Surrounded by frightening thunders all bright,

Compiled with overwhelmed tears on stormy night.

Had to extinguish the spark between us,

Was stuck with a dirty, redundant fuss.

Turned me into a love-sick paranoid,

Soaked in the emptiness of a depleted void.

Times where turbulent waves have stopped,

Choreographed my thoughts as this heart dropped.

Sunken deep into the memories of ours,

Inked my life with those scandalized scars.

Manipulated myself into talking to the moon,

Expected you to be there for me very soon.

That look in your eyes when we crossed our ways,

All my life, those are gonna be my ugliest days.

Welcome friend

YOU'VE used a very clever meter.. throughout, especially the following,

'Had to extinguish the spark between us,
Was stuck with a dirty, redundant fuss.
Turned me into a love-sick paranoid,
Soaked in the emptiness of a depleted void.'

[Manta Ray Lily]

Wonderful observation mam. Thanks for your review and I really appreciate it!

[emmajoygreen]

Is sad, so wish no need for such outpourings but.. perhaps it helped to see it as mere letters that needed to fade into nowhere. Perhaps?
