CHARADE
DEMENTED
by: Ashley Tia Long
I once believed in love,
Long, long ago.
But I learned the truth,
That love is just a show.
​
Feelings aren't real,
Emotions lie.
There's nothing to feel,
Since feelings always die.
​
I unmasked the charade,
That life tried to sell us.
That love was a thing,
We needed to trust.
​
But I saw underneath,
And I saw the bait.
I saw the truth,
That love is simply hate.
​
​
TWISTED
You are demented,
Completely insane.
Beyond twisted,
You take pleasure in pain.
​
No need to hide,
As you spread your hate.
You proudly show what's inside,
As your bare your true face.
​
You want others to see,
The horrors that you've done.
Because you want them to be scared,
Of the monster you've become.
​
So you instill fear,
In all who cross your path.
And soon you'll turn to murder,
To satiate your twisted wrath.

Please abuse me,
It's what I need.
It's a sick desire,
That you feed.
​
So I let you hurt me,
Because it feels so good.
How sick is it,
That it even would?
​
But I crave the torture.
And I ache for the pain.
Because I can't imagine living,
Without these bruises and chains.
​
So please abuse me,
It's what I need.
It's a demented desire,
Only you can feed.
