my veil

"I love my veil"

"It show forth my beauty".

But behind those linens lies bunch of shame untold.

Tears flowing like river,

With sparking eyes filled with regrets.

The pain of yesterday,the plight of today.

All crawling in my vein.

The veil was an escape route  not just a covering.

To quiver the guilt of the past,

Lying in my path

The light was hidden,

Night spent on strangers thighs,

Like scavengers,

Waiting aimlessly for a soul to hold me tight...

Have got a demon friend, he's so possessive.

His the reason I wake up in different blankets...

I was a night hawker,

Drinking vigorously with the spirits.

Like gum I stick to my desire,

Burning away my skin.

We were cool until he destroyed me,

I tried to run but he held me tight.

The ocean splash, the hills splits.

All I crave for is freedom.

Freedom from shame,

From those things I hate,

I gave my soul,and now I want it back.

Night or day I wandered like a fugitive

For now I still wear a veil of shame..
