High Maintenance System Failure
Chaos spreads like metastatic growth
In carefully designed manipulation
Family therapy
The puppet mistress casts her chords
Feeds her prey with miserable traction
Border lines crossed
Control is the trade she plies in glee
It corrodes and shelters dysfunction
Emotional bribery
Responsibility declared abandonment
Regrets resentment sadness anger
You make your bed and …
Vile venom sheathed in candy wrapper
She’s burning all her feeble bridges
Retreat the only hope
