Chelsea Pieterse

Engraved into flesh
an eternal burning scar
all your lies
encased in a silent scream
...

Sing me your song
of hurt, of pain
Read me the lyrics
Again and again
...

Dear hate...
Who am i meeting today?
Is it Fury? Rage? Pain?
im hosting Depression, anger,
...

I can see your sympathy
You wear it like a string of fake pearls
Hanging on yor ears
As you pretend to listen
...

I am the Broken promise
Of eternal life
I am your torture
I am your strife
...

Anger is my consumer
As my laughter is sold out
expired smiles stored away
Hidden behind my doubt
...

Going, going, gone!
Auctioned off to darkness
(For only R8.00...
eight...the number of infinity.
...

Silence as the verdict is read
'Found guilty on four accounts
of neglection and abuse of joy
and first degree murder of joy'
...

Death murmurs in her ear
Humming sweet lillabys
Luring her into eternal sleep
slides icy fingers
...

Sleep kisses her eyelids
And brings whispering dreams
murmuring gently at eachothers tales.
They dance around her thoughts,
...

You are here
In my darkest need
But even looking at you
is the riskiest greed
...

Denial is your protecter
lies make up your sword
blind haterd is your guider
anger is your lord
...

With delicate hands
he entwined in her heart
all his beautiful words.
His sentences weaved fragile fibres
...

She heard her scream
but he screamed louder
a door was slammed
and he became an outsider
...

I cried myself to sleep
dreams of your smile
cloaked my mind
soft and sunny
...

i
like him
have fallen
but he
...

black little heart
can't move
can't sleep
black little heart
...

dead inside.
crying every tear
that you cannot
my convulsing heart
...

I am not him.
I am not
even like him
but even in my sleep
...

Dirty
Shrouded in sin
Layered in dirt
of immoral filth.
...
