An Innocent's Wrath

Like a snake, you enter my thoughts.

You are cunning,

You are venomous,

You are deceitful.

Your eyes are black with hate.

Your smile is all but promising.

What is it that you want?

What sick favor do you ask of me?

Do you think me stupid?

I was once struck by your flair,

Your true self cleverly hidden.

I was foolish

To trust such a serpent.

I was foolish

To believe that you cared.

Yet I know the truth.

**You never cared,

You never bothered,

You never did feel a thing.**

Empty is your soul

And dark as night is your heart.

The little I have known you

I have put up with much.

I was there with you

For all laughs,

All fun,

All sadness,

All struggles.

How do you repay me?

**Lies.

Betrayal.

Games.**

You wanted me

Out of your life for good.

You get whatever

You wish for.

That's how you play

Your foolish, selfish game.

*Think you're the only person here

That can play hardball?*

I am not sweet.

I am not gentle.

And this time,

I may not be so forgiving.

*You didn't tear me down.

You built me up,

You made me stronger than ever.*

A flaw in your design

That you cannot fix.

So into your cold eyes

I glare right back.

I am not scared of you.

I am not intimidated by you.

I am better than you.

I am stronger than you.

Do not judge my gender,

**For I am more of the man

You will ever be.**

I ban you from my sanctuary!

Leave my conscious!

Or succumb to your darkest demise.

*Crack!

Snap!

Whack!*

Notes

You should have thought twice before you crossed me Manny. I've had enough of my "friends" stabbing me in the back throughout the years. I've had enough of people like you walking all over me. You were my last straw. Karma shall get the better of you one day and you will regret what you have done to me.
