He brought out the worst in me Cruel actions and words his weapons Ones he kept well oiled for use Every syllable spoken in perfection Hitting the bullseye of my patience Bursting out a fury I long kept hidden With a marksmen’s skills he teased out Anger overcrowding my being like rain clouds Bringing heavy showers of unrealistic vows A wild gust of cruel decisions sweeping sanity away He welcomed this flood with manic laughter
He brought out the worst in me But I still loved his soul Though how cruel and selfish it truly was Blinded by ancient kind actions I skipped over the puddles of each storm Hopping towards our reconciliation island Hoping always for the sun to break out Foolishly falling for the momentary calm Putting the rest the rage and reality Losing my fingers in the cords of us Reattaching the damaged strings of trust Dreaming of an ideality…..Us But the truth broke in easily
In the finality of us All that remained was nothing An infinite of emptiness to run away from Before it’s long tentacles pulled me in Grief slithering into my heart Taking full control of a shattered soul A breathing living body Now turned into a shell of nothingness With sharp fingers I cut out the dead Letting the ****** mess taint me Until I let go with a sigh
Dusting away my disappointment I got up And walked away
