Because of Her

I look at you and I realize, I don't know you anymore.

Gaunt eyes,

malicious lips,

gnashing teeth,

wicked heart.

The hollow shell of a memory, you are.

But that's all you are.

You can't hold my heart anymore,

your hands are too bitterly frozen.

You can't make e smile anymore,

your jokes are weak,

pathetic,

cursed,

vindictive.

You've disguised the beautiful rose in bushes of thorns,

and that rose is now a ****

And the candle under the bushel is melted.

Gone.

I was thinking about it today,

I look at you and I realize,

I don't know you anymore.

Goodbye, stranger.
