Castle walls know the truth

She thought she could escape

The voices that felt like ants

Crawling all over her body

But even when the mirror

Showed glimpse of the light,

The castle walls still echoed with a truth,

She couldn't wipe away

It was easier to shrink into the background,

Pretend to be the girl

Who carried no shame or vengeance,

But most only saw a soft shell of herself,

That was slowly squeezing her tightly

Until the closed door

Began to look like a prison

She herself created

Secret melody

You complete the melody

That I didn't know I needed

Your affection is a song

That I didn't need to logically learn,

It was already written in the heart

Like a secret diary just for me and you

The piano keys made me think

That black and white was life

But I didn't truly feel the music

Until you showed me

That it was okay to spread out my wings

And find the harmony

Like it was a lost artifact

Never truly lost

But it stood before me

And the filter of judgement

Clouded my sight

We have a secret melody

Only we can hear

Close to you

Wanting to get close to you

Feels like I am standing before

A bridge hugged by flames,

As the ink filled depths swim with violent creatures

I hear the swords clashing

And the people screaming in agony

But all I can hear is your voice

Your silhouette covers my sight

My eyes only follow you

And I allow the whisper of desire

To lead me right across the bridge

Where my skin is scorched

But my heart feels warmer

And I can only ignore the aching drought

I want you

A space of healing

When two hearts collide

To become one entity,

It feels like a soft wave

Running over the body

Creating a space of healing

A rare type of medicine

That speaks to souls

Who carry the remnants

Of purity and love

Deep within their veins

No logic exists

But the body knows

The tears that build up

Is the response of a sensitive soul

Aligning with the energy

Of what it once knew

In a world that didn't have density

Merry go round

I feel like I drown in a lake filled with thoughts

That are not entirely mine

I remember how it felt to have your lips

Kiss my ear

As if you were claiming me as your own

I've gotten used to clinging on the merry go round

Of people pleasing

Afraid to break free from the loop

But I don't notice you choking me

With your streams of control,

Until I read your gaze

To find that you secretly love

When I fall helplessly into your palms

Like you planned for us to meet again

Except now I find myself in the void

On whether to accept your advances

Or push you away

As if a dirty filter covers my heart,

And I can no longer hear it
