the unrepentant girl

I’ve to return to the dark room at once

I have some negatives to make positive

I have to make a future with your canvas

Believe it or not,

I’ll mix each dust of your ashes together

None will be unaccounted for

I’ll make for myself a shape of you

An image of perpetual ridicule

One with two horns and a bleeding tongue

To remind me of how sweet lies are

And how horny deceit looks

Believe it or not,

I will carve all the edges sharp

To remember all the sharp pains my heart felt

And the wounds that won’t heal

It’s enough to believe in love and be trashed

But I won’t be a novice ever again

After I might have drawn a painted image

Of your timeline and memories shared

I’ll forever remember I once met an unrepentant girl

Whose ambition was to break my heart into pieces
