Subliminal Revenge

The pain that used to be my thorns
Red roses were born
Love torned
The nasty scars weren’t healed
But my broken self, I’ve rebuilt

I have been walking over an endless dessert
My hunger for water, became lesser.
I can’t be better
The silent screams that turned me owl
The faceless soul detached, I’ve stood up devoured.

The odes of elegy I used to write for you
Turn the page for a haiku of optimism and fate
This is my current state
Your empty feelings, burned bridges for me
Now, can’t you see?

My pain, my grief
Your freedom, your new leaf
Turn the wheels
You are now crawling for stilts
Allow me to rejoice your karma
While you lurk in guilt and I get to wear the tiara.

While watching the different colours of the leaves from your poem, saw you wearing the tiara of a great poet. A toi! sung by a famous French singer.
