Your Words Are Poison
I am not your friend
You say I am,
Yet you act differently.
Constantly you tear my heart to shreds
As if I mean nothing to you
And that’s just it isn’t it?
I hold no special place in your heart-
An unrequited love tearing me apart
But it’s worse, it’s more than that.
You’re cruel and angry with me constantly
I’m always find myself asking:
“What have I done now?”
“What is wrong with me?”
And what is wrong with me indeed,
That I should have incurred your malice!
How have I slighted you so?
Your silence wounds me greater than your words ever have
I bleed because of you
Because of YOU! I cry and scream in the howling winds
I curse your name then crash to the ground in grief
Because despite everything- you are my drug
I am addicted to you and cannot give you up
No matter how you torment me
I can’t say no to you-
And once again
In less than 10 minutes everything has unraveled
You are angry with me once more
Still, I do not understand why
You say you love,
You say I matter to you
But your words are nothing
To the poison to your actions
And the torture you inflict on my heart
