The Spoiling

Mirrors tell the story time forgot

Pain is constant but keeping faces is all a woman can do to hide the demons clawing for the outside again

Used until her soul just burns black ash and she remembers every cold excuse

Her naked flesh is scarred with memories and menaced by a pack of wolves

She could not scream anymore and she dare not cry

It hardened her heart until it finally died

She has no friends nor lovers anymore because the haunting is hollowing

Witnessing the waters in which are only cold and so deep they derive you of your pride

Makeup is on her cheeks and smeared lipstick lets her know shes a showdog that lost her sheen

When you have been betrayed and humiliated breathing gets harder to do

Your only wanted when somethings wanted from you

She keeps her held high though her smirk is a filthy lie

Because tired and misfitting she is

She showed one man her most intimate places 

And he put her display like a canary in a cage

They called her w***e and much more for one mistake

Now taking off anything is hard to do when once you let them see 

They walk away and leave you hanging out to dry 

And pretend they do not even know who you are

She hates her own skin and wants to cut it from the bone

But she remains a stone

Hiding everything for the sake of what little is alive

No one knows her story 

And yet she sees no love in her future only more dismissal

But how much can one woman take before she breaks
