Stroking with delicate fingers Over your temple and through Your thick hair, Brown as the wilted trees of winter days, You cry to me. “Who am I?” Silenced by my inadequacy To respond to your tears And the disgust of your vulnerable Weeping call, Mountains of shame carried within. “Do you love me?” You wail softly to my rejecting ears, But of course I do But of course I don’t Who could love you? A fading light of which shone so bright. “Help me get better?” Naked Vulnerable You cry out for someone’s helping hand But you only have me And my snide plans to **** you. “I’m going to **** myself?” Good. Go. I’m sick of you. Tired of fixing your mistakes Only For you to **** up again. “Do you miss me?” I did not hate you, lover, I despised you Every time I looked in the mirror I saw You, Your whining face, And moaning heart, the figure of my torment, The figure of your torment, With thighs scraped and tortured, I remembered what you were. What I was. And then you died, And then I was born. Better, Stronger, No longer defined by your mistakes, A Phoenix from the ashes, I could, Breathe. Goodbye, to the lover I left Behind

A Goodbye To The Lover i Left Behind
Stroking with delicate fingers Over your temple and through Your thick hair, Brown as the wilted trees of winter days, You cry to me. “Who am I?” Silenced by my inadequacy To respond to your tears And the disgust of your vulnerable Weeping call, Mountains of shame carried within. “Do you love me?” You wail softly to my rejecting ears, But of course I do But of course I don’t Who could love you? A fading light of which shone so bright. “Help me get better?” Naked Vulnerable You cry out for someone’s helping hand But you only have me And my snide plans to **** you. “I’m going to **** myself?” Good. Go. I’m sick of you. Tired of fixing your mistakes Only For you to **** up again. “Do you miss me?” I did not hate you, lover, I despised you Every time I looked in the mirror I saw You, Your whining face, And moaning heart, the figure of my torment, The figure of your torment, With thighs scraped and tortured, I remembered what you were. What I was. And then you died, And then I was born. Better, Stronger, No longer defined by your mistakes, A Phoenix from the ashes, I could, Breathe. Goodbye, to the lover I left Behind
