War

A dark poem during a shadow period

By Lady PsyrenPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

I’m sorry, my love

For the battle that resides inside of me is coming to an end

- and the outside is losing

The torture

Oh, the torture that took place

The arguing back and forth

The yelling…

The disagreements

The emotional damage

The abuse

And then…the silence

- sitting in loneliness

- in a deep dark corner

Shhh! They’re here….

- they crept in

- They talked to the shell

And lower the shell sunk

Being dragged down

Being distracted by them

Is why I am losing

Which is why, I must say goodbye

I am no more

The inside won this war
