its been more than eight years
since last you got your way
and i still swill with spite
thinking of it
just like those forest fires on the news
uncontrolled
deadly
i don't even know how to phrase it
i always cared about
making peace
but with you
we never got to be ok
you burned that last bridge down
and for once
i couldn't allow you to
rebuilt it
how could you
shrink me into
nothingness
your trophy
used
and above all that
how can i still lay here
after all these years
listening to the
echoes
of your footsteps
on my chest
