Nadeleine



"NADELEINE"

Nadeleine,a beauty mama named me.
Darling,sweet nothings papa whispers.
Daleine, nickname friends carved.

Nadeleine,an angel from above,thee say.
Darling,a gift of immense pleasure.
Pray say,all of their hopes come to light!

Nadeleine,once a blooming zapherine,now a withered wall flower.
Birds fly with wings, now flying on weeds.
How far can this get?

Nadeleine,a birthed ray of hopelessness.
Darling,bundled rants of bitterness.
Daleine,a stranger I refuse to know.

He came onto me like a dhole.
Brutalized my fairness and forcefully took my innocence,shattering my conscience and making me an orb of darkness,I screamed but was never heard!

Nadeleine, shattered fairy lights.
Dark,doleful and debacle.
A dastard made a bastard out of Mama's nadeleine and papa's darling.
Hopefully,one day perhaps someday,I may take on my name again!
