I left your company,
So “precious”
The moment
You mentioned the name
There’s only so much hate
That a person could contain,
Can tolerate,
And nothing as potent
As that one name
To make me see red.
I thank you
For reminding me again
Why I had vowed
To never come across you.
It brings back, gushing,
The extent of your gullibility
And my blind trust.
You, like a broken puppy
In need of a shelter,
Still yap behind her
All day,
Unseeing the truth
That my eyes still hold.

And so, I left.
It keeps the pain at bay.

Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

Rare is the urge to laugh,
Rarer to control.

I keep biding my time
To say something that sounds right
Finally right, to the chaos in my heart
And I look around.
There's nobody to hear.

We speak of morality and mortality
While each breath
Each word
Poisons our soul.

The world is my oyster,
And the entire ocean is polluted.
The pearl inside, dead.

How do you determine
That one form of beauty
Is better than the other?
Some may say your eyes are prettier than mine, comparison to determine worth.
