Write Your Name With My Pain

I try to write your name — With my pain — But the scratch marks leave my skin with the rain

“My Lady Valkyrie”, an original art piece by Valkyrie Vanguard — Medium: Papercutting

I try to write your name
With my pain
But the scratch marks leave my skin with the rain
Assign blame
Spare me shame
All in vain
Inhumane
You complain
Extreme and insane
Nothing to attain
Just constrain
You exclaim
With disdain
Eyes aflame
Please explain
A slave to your game
Devil dad’s domain
Misery is mundane
My surname
Is profane
Memories I can’t make myself retain
So my brain
Overcame
Every maim
All the same
Temporarily slain
Frigid faces frozen in photo frames
With cocaine
And champagne
Teardrops embrace on the glass of the train
My eyes strain
From the stress to sustain
A state I can proclaim
But what else will remain
Besides jagged terrain
And a cruel counterclaim
I’m here to entertain
To forever remain
Like any other dame
Who fails to reclaim
An identity to proudly ordain
I’ll slam my head in my bedroom door frame
But the pain won’t sustain
An urge to ascertain
Sinking in, my selfsame
