Serving my heart up on a platter.
The more I commit the quicker I shatter.
Gazing at this face that warms my soul.
Beyond my reach and too good to be my goal.
Person with joy, grit and sensitivity.
None of which is meant for me.
Beast deserves no beauty.
Forever singular as I drift along.
Sticking to these darkened avenues.
Fortune never favours the undeserving.
Remove these hopes from my dreams.
Body broken from my mistreated teens.
Shallow waters that fill me with doubt.
From beneath this roof is the only place I shout.
But it won’t fill in this void.
So I am left craving to be annoyed.
Beast deserves no beauty.
Forever singular as I drift along.
Sticking to these darkened avenues.
Fortune never favours the undeserving.
This is how it is destined to be.
Fighting back terror while craving harmony.
Yet nothing can stem this flow.
It’s as if a dam did fail.
Eradicating any chance to prevail.
Drowning in these tides.
Decimated against my own pride.
With no round number two.
It’s a one shot deal and then it’s through.
Squandered mine for so long.
Now all I can do is look back on what went wrong.
No heart left worth a damn.
Ran and betrayed myself with my own scam.
Led my happiness straight to ruin.
Still I knew what I was doing.
Though refused to admit.
I was always the sole culprit.
Beast who deserved no beauty.
Forever singular as I drifted along.
Stuck to these darkened avenues.
Fortune never favoured my undeserving…
Jagged little shell.
