Shrouded No More

Your broken words and blatant lies
Use to cut me like a thousand knives
I sit wondering what I did wrong
When it was you who hurt me all along
Your toxic breath soaked with sin
Betrays the monster deep within
Disguised you hide in the form of a friend
And slowly try to make me bend
Your words are venom your tears are tricks
And seeing you makes me physically sick
You manipulate as you please
And get mad when I don’t bend a knee
Your selfish act has destroyed my life
And with an indifferent air, you ignore the strife
My heart has hardened I no longer bleed
From your words of hurt and self-satisfied need
You bruise too easily, or so you say
But I’m done letting you have your way.
Knock me down I don’t care
But you hurt my family and you better beware
You destroy all you touch
And wonder why people leave when it gets too much.
Darkness stains your soul
Your broken and not completely whole.
I’m done I’ve had enough
I don’t have time to hear your rebuff
Your petty heart and conniving mind
Make you think that I am blind.
Blind to the games that you play.
But eventually, you will have to pay.
Pay the price of your egocentric lies
Because I will no longer internalize
All the pain you made me feel.
I wish I never met you
I wish that you weren’t real.
I have no sympathy for you
Or your narcissistic ways.
I couldn’t describe the grief you caused
Even in One Thousand days.
Your heart is empty
Your mind is ill
You care of no one but yourself
And you never will.
So now I say goodbye to you and your vexatious words
And walk away from your theater of the absurd
