Battered Love by Devi Nina Bingham

Is it possible to stay in love?

We were so carefree at first

People change like clouds above


Pure as the snow-white turtle dove

With a steely bond and bewitching thirst

When ecstasy was enough


And time, the monstrous machine

Beat us black and blue

Gouge my eyes out for what I've seen


Innocence lost at just fifteen

The witches cooked up a wicked brew

She was just a teen; she was just a teen!


Losing you, losing you

When I was still a queen

What did it mean?


How does battered love survive?

A castaway stew

A voiceless beehive

I yearn to feel alive.
