Your Downfall

Silent was the war that thundered battles in our home The bedding sheets were all stained red – I used them to disguise the bitterness of self defence: I had to kill your lies! I knew that time would be my friend when I gave up the fight My armour plates corroded green – I used them to delay the call to arms, my heart would drum: “My enemy to slay!” Your poverty of intellect devoured all your dreams Like petals soiled, your rose shed tears – You used them, then obtained financial gain; parental fame. A right to be maintained I knew that time would be my friend when I began to fight Like cauldron boiled, subsided fear – I trampled over you Custodian. My heart now chants: “My offspring now delight”
