all
of your
self fulfilling prophesies
(that i once defended you from)
drowning in fear
insecurity
weakness
and ultimately
your soul’s darkness

are
coming
true

and
it’s a
relief

to let you
be
what i see

and
for everyone else
to
know

you are
those things
not because of who you are
but
what you allowed yourself
to become

gatekeeper
gaslighter
hateful
little
man

if i can’t rise
above you
then
im not sure
where i am

the sadness
of your soul
still
haunts me

and then
the day came, when
your name

didn’t
cross my mind

the fire
for me
in your heart
died quietly

tell me,
love

where did it go?
and
why
don’t you know?

he said,
what if we have
feelings
that
cannot be described in words?

fire
that consumes me
will
birth
new me
later
