Cathartic words
Hummed at my lips
Trying to ease the pain
Of the hate you contain
I fear no one at all
Because I lost it all
The pot grew huge
As I lost my only refuge
The place in my heart
On the ships I depart
We sail off to sea
The weight crushes me
The destruction I see
The sounds that make me
Tremble my lip
My mind starts to flip
A tear releases and slips
Down the crease of my cheek
The pain that you seek
The harsh sound of critique
When you look in my face
Tell me to leave this place
For this is your kingdom
You’re deceitful antagonism
The words that you throw
Grow deep in my throat
A lump that knows
Until I sit quiet attempt to compose
My tearful eyes
You laugh when I cry
I look absently
At this scene that unfolds frequently
I stare at the dark
Wait for the remark
Know I’ve lost my spark
Because of you
Every line that you misconstrued
Now you are nothing to me
And you still can’t see
The pain you caused
The love that you paused
Then threw away
Watched me decay
I was your component
For in the moment
The hate in your eyes
Was not your disguise
That really was you
And there is no redo
