Submissions by mind_of_z (Z Jackson)

You chose what game to play
You chose to break away
You chose not to stay
What am I supposed to say?
Now I feel it is better this way
You set in motion this decay
You put the issues on display
You'll never know how much it weighs.

I've managed to see the saving light
I now have salvation in my sight
I refuse to further endure this plight
I refuse to further continue to fight
I will resist your disease with all my might
I know your motives, filled with spite
You thought you could break me...not quite
Your reign over me ends...

I climbed that ridge
scratched that itch
somehow, I burnt that bridge
open wound, no stitch
Bleeding
a feeling once so strong
now fleeting
as an elderly man's hairline
receding
The pulse died, flat-line
attempted to mend and repair
unfair,
your emotionally chemical warfare
handled without care
Our time
was unraveling twine
holding together a broken spine
hanging on a dwindling vine
destined to fail
no graceful way to bail
set sail
heart cloaked in chain mail
agitated
above this I thought I'd graduated...
