LoBD

she is the ruiner.
with a beguiling smile
and a smooth tone of voice
she leaves destruction in her wake.
she brings the pain.
the lives she's taken
the hearts that scatter the sides
of the lonely path she wanders along
bring tears to her tired eyes.
she will destroy you
she is your greatest love
she is your worst fear
she is your soulmate
she is your biggest mistake.
her smile begins to fade
and her words become a whisper
as she tires of the life she leads.
she reaches out a hand into the darkness
and no one brushes her fingertips
the tears cling to the perfectly curled lashes
to the makeup she uses to hide her bruises inside
she is alone in this life she leads.
i am the ruiner.
i bring the pain.
