Covet-longs to possess others’ belongings

Tearfully tired of all these bruised efforts,
Broken promises, fractured smiles
Wincing with the venom you spat, you flicked,
You scalded me with, pretentious poison…
The tears on the window reflect in my eyes,
As I bite back a cry, to shout, to lash out,
Against all these lies trickling down past your
Contorted smirks.
The backstabbing treats, as you offered acid sweets,
And babbled on, baring blunt teeth, linking arms,
Until someone better flaps down to caw at your swan song.
Though the resentment burns my transparent eyes,
Jaded, my jaw clenches, grinding down my bones.
Silently scream my defence, which falls on dense minds,
This mundane unjustness flares all the time,
So I let the apathy bubble in my veins.
My crystal blues now a greyscale shadow,
And confident words hushed to a responsive whisper.
Although I tire so much of my lacklustre ways,
Isolation fuels the paranoia that yearns to rule my days.

So easily forgotten
Cast aside without a second glance
Thought or memory in their mind
Unjust sorrow slowly envelopes me
Covering me in a dark cloud of deception
Desperately trying to conceal me from the sorrow
Alone I try to grasp
The degradation of their actions
Falling in upon myself
My soul burns with the pain
The taunting of their lies
Their unjustness cast upon me
Tears of regret and humiliation
Flow freely down my face
For trusting them once more
I cannot hide
Or find shelter from the pain
To justify a happy life
I find the shame and humiliation
Controlling my life
By people made of deception
