It took me a while
To see you for what you were.
A raging inferno
That burned me from the inside out.
You left an acrid taste in my mouth,
Making my throat raw
With lungs blackened
From inhaling your toxicity.
You promised you were oxygen,
But my heart is a ragged mess of burned tissue
Damaged beyond repair.
I want you to see it all,
Every burn
Every scar
Every bruise
You have left upon me.
I dare you to tell me
That you are blameless
And I did the all the burning to myself.
