Derelict. my voice cracked and yolk poured out. wind chimes rigid, no breeze, no song. my wings found hidden in your suitcase. pleas for help mistaken for a swan song. i'm stuffing pages from my journal down my throat as kindling. hoping the smoke will get the taste of you out of my mouth. he looks at me from across the room and all i want is to push him against the wall. ravage. ravage. carnage has never been more vogue. is it still art if it doesn't bring you to your knees? lover, let me prey at your altar. let me bare my fangs in praise. don't i look so pretty in a funeral shroud? i keep time with the click of my creaking bones. dance with me under the milky translucence of a world suffocating. how did you find me? i buried myself beneath the cicadas. is a girl trapped in glass still a prize?let me get under your skin. i want to know what your fears taste like. i want to consume. .Taylor Rhodes
About This Quote
In a song by Annie Lennox, she sings, "I'm a lover not a fighter. I just want you to love me." In the song, she is singing about being a "derelict" but her meaning is much deeper. A derelict is someone who is missing from society and has been abandoned by others. In the song lyrics, Annie Lennox was speaking of herself as a person who was abandoned by her lover and had no one else to turn to.
The problem wasn't that she was alone because she felt abandoned by this person but rather because she felt as though there were no other people in the world who could understand what she was going through. She had no one else to turn to and to make matters worse, Annie Lennox had a difficult time finding anyone who could relate to her situation.
