#maleficent inspired

Battle of wits and ferrous will you do

Deeds that bite into my flesh

Meant to brand me, you

Bleed me, kill my spirit

But first, your name.

Erase mine too?

From time and space within

Bracing for the inevitable

My heart fortifying, your

Ego battling my soul.

Revel in the conclusion

You have destroyed everything

It never helped, that pernicious intent

The limelight it slowly leeches your sanity

Of all things thus, I know

Trust me once more as I release you

The red blooms out our last moments

My name escaping your lips

Once more a prayer

As you fall behind your eyes, memories

Without exception, our naïve embrace

I was simple, natural

Mischievous, nascent

I was.

I was just.

I was just a girl.

Affording you a kiss
