Not Worth It
Not Worth It She stood fearlessly On the balcony wall One more step And she could end it all Not that she would She just wanted to scare A brief moment of power Silently saying a prayer What is the point of anything anymore His hateful words had cut her to the core Time andContinue reading “Not Worth It”

Primal As I look into your eyes Listening to whimpering cries I know I am smitten Nothing can spoil or attempt to foil Because it has been written From my strength you draw life’s blood in your claw as you take shelter But the lies and conceit will always repeat Know that in hellContinue reading “Primal”

Perdition
