An eye for an eye, I guess.

No one hears your

lovely tears but

you.

And you wonder why you’re

alone at night as you

cry for

nothing,

wishing away the ghosts that

haunt the hallways of your

memories,

whisking away the

happiness you

once had.

 

No one fears the

listening ears but

you as you

try to suppress the

screams that come with

every single

incision you make on your

sanity.

Now you can never go back.

 

No one sees your

invisible boundaries but

you, as you

see the extent of your happiness becoming

shorter and

shorter.

You know it’s going to

end you someday.

But you can’t stop it.

 

So how high are you on your

pedestal now as you realize

JUST

HOW

TORTURED

I was?

How low can it be, huh?

Only as low as you went when you

ripped away my joy, turned

everybody on me, made me

MISERABLE.

That’s what you get.

 

You get nothing.
