you do not deserve pity
or mercy
stop playing the victim
manipulative snake
you know what you did
you destroyed me
you slowly poisoned my heart
cut into it
took it from me and found it wanting
blameless?
no
selfish and terrible
you clutched my trust in your fist
and bent it to your will
i will not feel badly for you
i will not hurt for you
accept your punishment
cowardly wretch
maybe next time you will realize
that hearts aren't toys
to be thrown out when they break
or trophies to collect
they are living things to be cherished
and protected
held tightly between soft warm palms
greedy liar
if mine meant so little
i will not
cannot
find an ounce of mercy nor pity
within my entire being
for your plight
i am worth more
much more
than you made me believe
i am worth everything
i see this truth clear as day now
and you cannot poison me
your hold over me has weakened
and soon i'll be loosed
and completely free
