Samaria can burn for all i care.
unchecked **** existed there as well.
each of us is torn.
you dare proclaim: you love me now.
but acts of speech will not belie
your inner need.
i will not
return your spineless love
i only see you as you were
passing me
another errant body uninvolved
you haven't changed
your distant eyes avert
your guilt to span the globe
your condescending anger
poorly compensates
your shame
you chose a silence then,
seeing from afar,
you ran and wrote a story
as if my story were a gem
as if your facets claim a right
to make of me a cause
so now i lock you eye to eye.
you owe me nothing,
my pleading done
i'm only here to shout --
to poison what you see as well --
to crack you into seeing hell as hell
sweet weakness soothed you
just for being powerless
while i retched in corners,
alleys, on the train
my captors blinded me
to hide themselves
but you see.
and you flail with understanding,
broken more than me.
you mutter pridefully
you're 'bearing witness'
... but an aperture of musing
only fades into the smoke
you ****
into a screen
regurgitating pity
to be swallowed by your peers,
you have found your hiding spot
in brightness, plugging in
no longer even passing by
