Left Vulnerable.
Like I always was,
Only this time with
Vultures circling
To take a bite of me
From my ironically
Deep grave.

Everyone wants a piece.
Not least the worker ants
Who lost their Queen,
End of the gene pool,
We snatched their only one.

You only live once.
But die a million deaths,
One life, one sentence.
Well I lost that one chance,
No use shifting the blame
On demons. That Demon.
I'll feed your chocolate addiction
With a trip to the supermarket
So you regurgitate the acid
And scorch my skin.

Make me feel.
Impale me like a
Christingle with
Ten-fold sharp cocktail sticks.
I am the cheese and pineapple
That turned sour
Before the sell-by-date,
Watch me poison
Your stomach with sickness.

Not too healthy myself.
Must be the mould
Penetrating my skin.
You wouldn't guess
From my pale complexion
I had issues with freedom.

I tried to find my key
In the daylight once,
But got stopped in the motions
With no honest way out.

Desolation is what my deviant
Mistakes have led me to,
It takes only one wrong turning
That signpost was so misleading...

It had started with seduction.
My skin had become a warzone
For favours, lend me your mouth
With your tongue.
Maybe it was hurt and not pleasure,
I'm not sure I'd do it again.

Perhaps starting work was an error.
Should've stayed home, been ordained,
Not joking or pleading
I'm telling. You've sucked
Out all my good and
There's nothing for the
Bad lies out there on the moors.

Not to mention the lost memories.
There's no view from this tinted glass window of monotone,
Just shapes on a second hand screen.
The silhouettes act out my memories
While white shattered bone shards stay scattered.

We are
The sound
Vision
And action
Of God
Please forgive us.
Burn in hell
For our done deeds.

The clock's not there to turn back,
So plunge me down into uncertainty
With lakes of liquid in my lungs.

There was nothing left to destroy.

This is about Myra Hindley, who was part of the moors murders, which took place in about 1965. It involved her and Ian Brady luring children and kiling them brutally and often sexually assaulting them, and recording their screams as they died. They buried them on the moors and were only found out when a family member told the police. In Englang it's a very famous story, and Myra at the time was said to be 'the most hated woman in Britain'. She was the first woman to be convicted of this sort of thing, and was put in jail for life, and died there in 2002. She made many attempts to get out, by campaigning. Many say if she hadn't become obsessed with Ian Brady she would have been just an ordinary housewife.

We've been studying Carol Ann Duffy's 'The World's Wife' anf her poem, 'The Devil's Wife' is one of the main poems in this collection, it inspired me to write this at close to midnight. It only took about 10 minutes to write and some minimal after editing, but yeah some of the things in this really mean a lot to me - was she really so evil?

Oh my god, wowowowowowowow! That is sooo creepy, but at the same time, justifiable. I like the reference to the housewife. Makes you think about the circumstances and everthing that happened.

Good stuff, my honey!

Awww thnak yo sooo much! It was supposed to be creepy, but I wanted to expose the side that perhaps she was sucked in and didnt quite know what she was doing, that she led herself to her own tragedy as well, and never got saved. It saddens me a bit really, not excusing the absolutely inexcusable and purely evil things she assisted in! Thank yooo for the :+fav: love you :D

Lol, its ok honey! I thought so with your explanation - like I always remember learning about Mary I, and how she was misunderstood, rather than "Bloody Mary" :):):):):)

I wasn't expecting you to write from this point of view, it's good, and it's different, although I've never heard of her story(ies?) reading your description of the crimes made my skin crawl.

I really love your writing, don't ever stop!

Mary had a lamb,
His eyes black as coals.
If we play very quiet, my lamb,
Mary never has to know.

Thank you so much :) I didn't really know anything about it, but we had to learn all about it when studying the poem.
