Happily Ever After

By Joanna Treasure


I hope and pray for a better day

Tell the demons to go away 

I didn't pick the razor blades up

But i dropped my soul in darkened muck 

I scream and yell with no prevail 

I hold tightly to every detail

I didn't die unfortunately 

I kindness contorted naturally 

His hand on my head i felt 

All the pain i deserved to be dealt

My life instructed by his command 

There is not much else i can withstand

Stay away from me please 

I have a sickness - a disease 

I look at such masculine art 

A smell and a fire will start 

I can see the soul inside 

Is it behind the mirror you hide?

Lock your eyes unto mine

Lets touch and being to pine 

Something so strong could make me die 

You only live once, should we give it a try?

To feel your heart beating for me

To feel safe, trapped but free

I want to put my feet next to yours

Walk along midnight shores

You can steal my breathe and give it back to me

Count my calories - keep me on track 

You can track my every move 

How much more should I improve?

Take me like stolen treasure 

Partake in every counter measure 

But stay away from me- im sick

Hey Handsome, i bet your fingers are thick

You come and go

With ebb and flow 

Your breathe leaves bruises to show 

I'm too far gone to say no 

Look at me with my eyes open 

Why is it me you have chosen

Show me your love as a token, words spoken 

I bare my soul open to you

Show me what I must do?

I'm dying, please pull me through 

Why continue to torture me 

I will bow low for you to see 

I will set fire to the trees 

I will become who you want me to be 

I will dig my own grave

I will become someone you can save 

Please hold my hand and take me away 

Look in my heart one day?

He fed me a gecko

Told me to let go 

He slipped my back 

Whispered sit up straight and get on track 

He comes and takes my soul

Its his devilish goal 

I felt it slide down my throat as he said “good girl”

I kept it down so as to not hurl

I don't know where the gecko went 

My concluding thoughts completely spent 

I wonder what magic he has put on me 

Will I blow up if I count to three?

Shall I shed my skin and climb a tree?

He watches me in my sleep 

He steals my dreams 

How much further will this go, how deep?

My angels protect me in teams 

Shall I carve my heart out for him to keep?

Love me, i am breaking at the seams

A shadowed man

Rings on his hands 

A vast head

Hair coloured red 

Large shoulders, consequential arms 

Is it love or is it harm 

Was it guns or knuckle dusters?

He wants to own and thrust her 

Visions of the devil 

What demons he must revel

Pissing on my clothes 

Why is it me you loathe

I bear my neck to you sir 

Can I smell and touch your fur?

His hands thick and dangerous

Does he lay with me in my sleep?

Turn me into a little birdie to keep 

Once i was your hummingbird

This love is completely absurd

I whispered your name 

my lips you staked your claim 

Your eyes are a dream

You make me want to scream


6.


When i hear a motorbike it think its you

Will you turn up out of the blue?

Will you hold my hand

As you sink into me like sand 

Hold me by the throat 

Pilfer my breath as i choke 

Make me your woman with your husbandly endowment 

Colliding black holes a universal empowerment 

The ravens protect me as you do 

My world to you is see through



I don't remember the colours of his eyes

 But I can feel a soul tie

Joined by blood and piss

Only 1 stolen kiss

He touched my privy pearl

For a moment i felt like i was the only girl

I told him he was like a shark 

He gave me rocks and left his mark 

He haunts my every waking hour 

At night he shadows me like a supernatural power

He does as he wishes while im asleep 

God please have my soul to keep 

He loves my family more then me

He drinks my misery like a honey cup of tea

This will never end 

To my death im must pretend 



8.


I heard your footsteps as i fell asleep

Confirming my location for you to safekeep 

I didnt rise from fading as i knew it was you

Because where ever i go, you come too

I believe there is a reason for everything you have done

Now i have learned, i cannot hide and run 

Angels, Saints, Watchers and Gods

Guide me through to Heaven by all odds
