(flashback/when she was 9)

— from tear-stained journal pages

it was a lethal woman
my father brought home.

but oh, she was so beautiful,,

she looked like she was made of the sun,,


i. her eyes were the
color of cold. seraphic
mint blue, a pretty mask
hiding a rotting heart.
eyes the color of a lullaby,
hiding cruel intentions,,


ii. her skin was like pearly
plastic, flawless, dusted
with a shade of gold as if
she were immortal, as if
she bathed in the sun itself,,


iii. her hair, layered shades
the color of summer wind,
pastel golds and silvers
laced with dynamite and a
grandeur no man could resist,,

she looked like an angel,,

but no. she was a cruel woman, and i saw right through her. under the blissful eyes and soft lips, she's a woman of blood and dior. she's a woman who forces her scars on the souls of others, and that other was me.

she raged war against me, the battlefield. since the very first moment my young eyes met hers. at the age of 9 i became a soldier, too young to carry the weight of 10 lifetimes between her shoulder blades,,

yet i did.



my stepmother was my downfall.
