In the midst of complete happiness
You stand apart
Too scared to go further
Paralysed with the fear
Of knowing
That this could be more than you’ve ever imagined
And the pain more than you could ever come back from
So in this moment
You take what you dare to
And leave the rest
To itself.
~Madame Cadet
Who are you today?
I am the silent one
With a reservoir of
Undisturbed anger
Simmering in
A pleasant disguise
Of annoyance.
You can smell the sweetness
Of my yearning and desire
Of vengeance
As i walk past you
And the curse of a million years
Behind my smile
As i bid you hello
And nod you farewell.
~Madame Cadet
In the blink of an eye
You went from lover
To tormentor
To pacifier
And finally Betrayer.
And all the while
The only thing that matters
To me
Is that I like you.
Oh how I wish to adore you
For that comes so naturally pour moi.
But when one is in the absence of common kindness,
And empty spaces result in affections not setting foot,
The carrying-ons of the everynothings
Render you resigned and unqualified
To be accorded
The most personal of graces.
La grande peur.
~Madame Cadet
Patience wearing thin
Is like a veil held close to light
A lovely sight of virtue
But danger of melting
And worse
Alighting
In a gust of white hot flames
Searing the skin
And leaving
A permanent affliction
~Madame Cadet
