Prussia tossed his chopped potato into the water and stirred. He was sitting on a stool by a fire right outside his tent, a pot of warming soup hung over the flames. The soup wasn't anything fancy, but it was a hot meal. Its creator and amateur chef was just adding the final ingredients.
The Prussian had calmed down by now. His previous ranting and plotting had turned out to be quite therapeutic. It had been surprisingly calming to imagine all the torturous things he could do to America after lunch. Some of his evil fantasies couldn't actuall
You said you'd never let me lose myself
Said that you'd always be there
Said that I could always count on you
Said that you would always care
You lied
You said you wanted me to be happy
Said that you'd never stop trying
Said I'd always be special to you
Said that you'd keep me from crying
You lied
You said you'd never let me down
Said that you loved me for me
Said that I was not alone
Said you wanted me to be free
You lied
You said you'd give me anything
Said you were all I'd need
Said that you'd make my world better
Said I'd never have to bleed
You lied
You said nothing at all
Wouldn't look me in the face
Wouldn't take
There's a little girl, sitting alone in the dark. She's huddled in a corner, facing the walls.
Rocking back and forth.
Hugging her knees close for comfort, just to feel some form of human contact, even if it is herself.
There's a light somewhere in the room, but it's very faint. The girl shies away from it though.
It hurts her eyes.
She isn't used to the light. Her skin is chalky, her hair dark, her eyes big and black from living in darkness.
She wears a black silk dress. It feels slippery and smooth.
She likes it.
It reminds her of night, and softness. Like the caress of a loved one's hand. Beautiful and forbidding.
When it's bedtime,
My mommy will come and kiss me goodnight,
My daddy will tuck me in,
And they will sing a lullaby.
Time for bed,
Rest your head
When it's getting late,
Mom will point me to bed,
Dad will tell me listen to my mother,
And they will watch the evening news.
We'll be here,
Have no fear
When it's past curfew,
Mom will scold me,
Dad will be too drunk to talk,
And they will argue through the night.
Turn the lights off,
And we'll talk real soft
When it's past morning dark,
She will blame herself,
He will have walked away,
And I will sing myself a lullaby.
It's just us two,
We love you.
A simple question, simple words
You made me fall inside and outwards
-when you blew it out of proportion
my love for you is like an extortion
…ever since I was little, you made me feel-
You made me feel raw emotions, ever so real.
I only wish I could show you, mother
How you make me feel like no other.
You make me feel abandoned, useless-
Like I should remain actionless,
-Like I'm unimportant to you anymore-
You make my love feel like a chore.
I always try, I really do…
…To speak any words I have for you
But you shut me down, make me feel like shit
…make me feel like I want to end it
I know these are things you grew up on-
