"Go have a breakdown since that's all you're good at" He doesn't realise the weight his words have on me Words that cascade with force into my entire world Tunnel vision showing only him As a target Revenge is bittersweet Much like the black coffee, dark chocolate, and gin that I love In hindsight revenge never does cut it Because I never use a knife Instead my revenge is in the form of removal It makes no difference . Words That's all they are Yet they're as sharp as a double edged sword One side is jagged, the other smooth Both cut Deep Wounds left etched through my body Scars running like war paths over my entirety Does he gain pleasure by putting me down? Does making me feel worthless make him feel strong? Or am I simply a woman who hasn't evolved past the hindrance of emotion
