You found me Heart of abuse turned peaceful Eyes of disgust enlightened You winged me into security, then played off my vulnerability like a scavenger Peeling my walls down like flesh from a carcass You reeled me in like the catch of the day hook attached, you left me dangling with the hope of repair As you caught a one way to California The days that followed brought your beasts with them Gloomy deceitful minions of broken trust Your "love" had evaporated just as quick as the oregon wind blows Making me regret every ounce of compassion I'd given you despising the sincerity I had offered Regurgitating every lie you'd bestowed upon me However, with every passing day my memory of you fades No longer do I cry over your cowardly decisions There is no hate or grudge held within my soul Soon enough I realised I'd never loved you I was faking contempt with every kiss, every hug, every word & my heart secretly craved your absence months have passed without heartache I've doused my wounds in gasoline and set your memory ablaze regained that fire in my eyes that you once so carelessly saturated with tears There are many that patiently waited for my return Finally my golden emeralds are cleaned of deceit and deception I'm done searching, waiting, and hoping for my happily ever after I am my happy ending I'm the best architect and gardener I know Continuously rebuilding myself after demolition & Replanting my roots to fit my desires Repairing cracks, sowing holes, stemming leaves from ashes I've been reborn.
