You Rode Out On It

feeling to well known
can't hide the hurt 
travel far and wide 
to uncover the splint in my heart
the day after you broke it
i play the morning over 
in my head remembering
what you said 
not that it fell on deaf ears
not that i didn't understand 
but i couldn't believe you spoke it 
tangled and twisted waves of 
emotions fog covered thoughts
a tidal-wave of tears supplied 
the river for your leaving 
no one else will use this vessel
the way you rode out on it
the kaleidoscope of your perspective 
is all over the place far left to 
the extreme right on what grounds 
gave you smite , bloodied and venomous
your taunting exposed raw nerves 
glisten and shine like a new bike
i will i will as those words spewed at me
i am leaving ,true you are 
left me staring back at you from the 
mirror , i am not that bad ?
sure we didn't make the right 
choices ,that morning you left 
your words still haunt me as you said
"i don't want to do this anymore i quit 
and i am going to a meeting"
i pleaded with you not to flush it down the toilette 
but you did , i hate you for not looking back
i am stuck here ,

good by my addiction
