awaiting the ravens
as snowflakes flitter around
a quiet, safe haven
a secret, kept underground
*
adorned me with presents
promised his heart to me
and then, he turned rotten
an apple spoiled, felled, from its tree
*
where once was pure passion
brutality took its place
he looked like a madman
that evil look on his face
*
he vowed to replace me
replay all his sins
he left his guarantee
all over my skin
*
my face was so battered
he designed me a mask
he said, "rest assured"
nobody would ask
*
he said, he was the king
and this was his castle
once he made my heart sing
then he turned into an asshole
*
he had it all planned out
he knew exactly how it'd be
he planted a sprout
at my grave, neath the tree

Too many rotten apples out there. Well done!

He needs to die. Slowly. Painfully. Lived your poem!

There is only one soul that survives such things. It is not his.
