i always wondered what it is you’d say to me after
all these years,
what kind of
explanation you’d give me after all these
tears.
we both knew when we met we’d inevitably go our separate ways,
but never like this-

and now,
you’re sat in front of me still as an idol.
who knew
one day you’d be my rival.
I once saw love and serenity when I stared into your eyes,
and now,
i see all the hate and chaos that overflowed your ugly lies.
i should’ve known better, and now your words are what have the noose around my neck tied-

i should’ve known better.
if I could un-write every word I’d ever had my ink laid, I’d do it.
just to take back every letter.
you used to make my heart flutter.
my thoughts slurred, and my speech stutter.
but now I’d rather choke on my words and make you watch me shudder.
face the face you destroyed,
Listen to the heart that beats no more,
and stare at the ears that hear no love.
you broke a human that was as strong as steel.
i want you to,
view the life you’ve been hiding from.
listen to the cries of the inner child you handed ***.

you broke a human that was as strong as steel,

and now

one thing he’ll never do again,

is feel.
