Sociopath
From your meticulously made armadillo...
Remember when we watched the titanic
i looked in your eyes, saw you were a body full of pain
you asked if i was okay
"fine, I'm fine.. I'm a sociopath anyway."
feel nothing, an act, a facade its all staged
Nails digging into flesh
fighting tears so much it burns the back of my throat
mouth lingering of cheap liquor
I'm a cold heartless sociopath
~ THEY SAID
I'm your strength your monster burying aching hurt
a hero when you least expect
a tyrant heathen less then blessed
used to have a halo, all you ever saw were horns
well the devil in me cried
when your heart was full of thorns
I heard you cry
when he beat you
saw the bruises on your eyes
blood building up in clots
begged you to cut those ties
i always thought you were beautiful, even if you were damned
~his words cut deep calculated as if it were planned
maybe when you call me evil
you saw my fathers face
traced the bitterness in my words, as if a strain of DNA
a female version of his lingering lies, and cruelty
poison he didn't get to spew
unfortunate casualty
kiss of judas? curly haired plague
IM A SOCIOPATH
i armor my heart guarded laced with superiority
untouched
wear a veil with spikes
and plates of stillness tough as truth
like an armadillo
~with pride
skinned in steel
my body cold to the touch
pierce your skin when you try to hold me
with the daggers i use for victims when i call to my command
you forced away the painful trinkets hoping to replace with love
ripping from the inside stitches come undone
sometimes i cant hide the venom in my heart
An acid spitting toad
fire in my blood
IM NOT A SOCIOPATH!!!!!
so please don't call me one
you pushed me into a part
to hide beauty and pain from my pulsating heart
now all i bleed is black
ugly mold and plaque
"what's that in the closet?"
just another heart shaped box..
{rip Kurt Cobain, you beautiful human}
i did it, i ripped it out i had to
fulfill my prophecy to be more then carefully crafted oddity
rarity
miserable empathy
cut it out with a pumpkin carver
sculpted like a sinister penalty
~years later the perfect crime
bitter truth like a pill swallowed dry
a look into the unknown
unfiltered lines
a weed in time
time in a bottle captive, and an escaping light destined
a curse fleeting entangled in tumbleweeds
empty ruins
planting one more seed
on baron land ground deep
PS: maybe I'm insane but I'm no a sociopath
