Poem
For so long I thought I knew your heart Your mind, soul, and every part My life felt safe in your gentle arms Free from worry and any harm So certain I was that you were the one A love so strong it could not come undone But little did I know my trust was misplaced And soon a brewing storm would have to be faced That day I found the deceiver in my midst The girl I held, the one I kissed So suddenly my life turned upside down Now lost in the shadows with you nowhere around Into a grave you lowered our love Never to see the world above At that moment something triggered inside My rage now flowed like the surging tide The levies cracked and my strength gave way Unable to stop the coming fray Bliss now replaced by hate and loathing Caused by you, the wolf in sheep’s clothing Snarling fangs beneath that darling smile Gorgeous looks to conceal your side so vile A person that few people ever see A beast kept under lock and key With cruel intent you sharpened the blade And in my back the knife has stayed A dagger forged from scorn and spite Cold dark steel void of light Plunged into my skin now frail and gray Then like a coward you ran away Off to your fantasy world you quickly fled While I was left hanging by a thread But the life you live is purely fiction A book of lies written to avoid this friction Thoughts stained black by petty need Your life now owned by selfish greed A slave to yourself you slowly slip Over your back you crack the whip But the high you chase will surely crash In withdrawal you will writhe and thrash So desperate you are to feel no pain That you devastate lives with nothing to gain But you told me to go and so I did Far away and off the grid When your world crumbles then it’s none of my concern Like a wildfire I will sit and watch it burn I won’t crawl on my knees one more day Not another second hiding what I have to say With these cold dead hands I clinch my fist You’re no longer the razor at my wrist I deserve so much more than what you gave A brighter future lies outside this cave And when you wake to a lonely dawn You my dear will feel that I am truly gone I’m not your savior, no not anymore I won’t catch you like I did before Go on alone and see what waits Beyond the safety of your gates A bitter city with little grace For those who fall from the relentless pace But for me this tale of tragedy will soon be done And you will be left under this burning desert sun
