Old Newspaper

Wrap your lies up
In newspaper
Articles
Emotional dust
I'll brush off the
Particles
And publish some truth
In today's
Issue
Let them understand
How it feels to
Miss you
Share some raw stories of
The way you
Just lied
A secretive love
You only liked
To hide
Wanted when it was
Convenient
For you
Anything you needed
You knew I
Would do
Never took time
That I had
Requested
Left me alone
Wondering why I'd
Invested
So much into someone
Who wouldn't give
Me half
Cried your own tears
When I finally
Fought back
And now I'm supposed
To accept your
Apology
Your blatant disregard
For bullshit you
Put on me
Fuck your views
Won't even read them
Later
Breaking news
I'm over your
Paper
Could tear it to shreds
Or recycle and
Crumple
But I'm done with civil
Being sweet and
Subtle
I'll strike the match
Toss it good and hard
Into flames
Goodbye to your idiocy
Your selfcentered ways
And games
Learned from the past
Watch me burn remnants to
The ground
This fire inside of me
Contained for too long
Now found
So take your dumb newspaper
Your childish write-ups
Ashes
Hold this edition  tight
When the headline for you
Flashes
And remember how you feel
When it hurts your pride
To read
That I'm doing great without you
Because I know you're someone I
Don't need
