Retreat

You broke my trust

Abandoned your promise

Cunning and with piercing precision

Maneuvered a missile under ruse of naivety


A veil of dysfunction draped over habits of deceit

Your claim to be a victim of abandonment

Fulfils its mission of chaos and hurt

With boundaries crossed


I was meant to walk 

Emptily dancing to shadows

Like a puppet on your sordid strings

Surrender to whims of destruction and pity


The mirror of honesty shattered from acid attacks

Callousness cast its venom and naked attack

I like to walk barefoot so I reverse back

Leave your caustic cause
