A Splinter of Her Soul

by Nick Gisburne





They poison her with lies until her feelings fall apart
Their merciless deceptions drain her dry
She dreams of being strong enough to build a bigger heart
But cannot catch the confidence to try

Four walls
Four corners
Just enough, for now
When all her days are all for nothing
A splinter of her soul survives, somehow

They fill her frozen emptiness with bitterness and spite
A thousand hooks of hatred drag her down
They bully her defences with insatiable delight
She wonders why they work to watch her drown

Four walls
Four corners
Just enough, for now
When all her days are all for nothing
A splinter of her soul survives, somehow

She understands at last that every prison has a door
An unfamiliar freedom she could never find before

Disarming every sick, sadistic insult with a smile
Her walls become a comfort, not a curse
With passions too protective for their darkness to defile
Emotions too relentless to reverse

No walls
No worries
Nothing matters now
Rejecting what is rotten
All their falsehoods are forgotten
A catalogue of pain she can’t allow

Their poisons disappear
With nothing more to fear
When courage gives her just enough, for now
A splinter of her soul survives, somehow
