A dedication to my mum...

Two years have gone by
In what feels like 
The blink of an eye
And so many say
It gets easier with time
But I feel your loss 
More and more 
With each passing day... 

And now 
During my toughest battles
My general has left me
To fend for myself
And these days 
I struggle 
And forget 
How strong we can  be

There are days 
When I'm so angry
That you've abandoned me 
In this lonely world 
And then I remember 
Your every lesson
That has equipped me
To be not just a princess in a tower 
But the warrior and the dragon too 

And I gather courage 
From your bravery and strength 
That flows through my veins 
And I miss you 
More and more
But I keep reminding myself 
I am the daughter 
Of a Queen

Broken Promises...

For every verbal promise
That you have made
To me
I have made 
A silent vow
To you... 

While you have run
And hidden
These truths 
From yourself
I have been true 
To every single one
Whether you were
Aware or not.... 

The pain of your deceit
Has numbed my soul
To the point where
Even this blade
Dancing across my tender wrists
Offers no release
From the shackles
Of being bound to you... 

And as the blood drips
From the tips of my fingers 
Slowly to the ground
And the world fades 
into darkness
I make you
One final vow.... 

I will never hold 
These broken promises
Against you
In this world
Or the next...
