Chelsea Pieterse Poems

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,
...
