Dilapidated
Fall at your own feet
as subsided as you wanted to push me
Choke on your breath
as mine was to be taken
You cannot control Me
Fall at your own feet
live as obscure as you tried to hold me
Tie your arms around the blocking concepts,
blind and forsaken
You cannot hide Me
Fall at your own feet
as undeserving as you saw me
Stomp self to the ground,
swallow your own bitter token
You cannot stop Me
Fall at your own feet
eat your greed and resentfulness
Rip it apart, bleed it;
Live it!
Know you're broken
You cannot keep Me
So, Suffocate on your own End
[lose it, go away]
Nothing between us is left to mend
[leave it, die away]

Fall from Tall;
Crawl to Small,
my "Friend".

Author's Note
I rarely get angry, my go to in situations are often either frustration or disappointment. But this is about a friend of mine who tried to manipulate my life completely and in the process destroyed many things for me. When I got out of it, I ended up writing this.

Thank you for reading it and commenting! :) I know I posted it on another site and people were a bit thrown back as it is not my general poetry feel. However, we're all capable of feeling different things and most times anger is not happening for me and I almost never feel that another should fall. In this case, I wished it all to crumble.

It is a weird thing - most times I know manipulation before it takes me over. This one however, surprised me, and suddenly everything (years) had been patiently weaved.
Putting it down on paper is hard, I struggle because I don't want to give it more power by inking it; so I waited until I came to the point where I wanted it to shatter.
Thank you, Brenda, for reading and understanding <3

Wow. A lot to consider here. I find that, in solemn reflection, adversity and suffering are blessings, in that others touch on areas we need to grow and our reactions are that revelation. Writing can be transformatively cathartic and I hope it was to you. The one who wounded you was wounded also in their own way, even the narcissists, the heart blind I call them, are just people with their qualities and lackings thereof. Your write is powerful, its emotions clear and potent. Wonderful work.

It was my first moment in this life, of standing up and walking out. I agree with you, opposite ends have equal value and purpose of being here; suffering just the same - perhaps for them an in lack-there-of more so than awareness of the duality of each situation. I find Awareness to be just as painful, but a better standpoint for future choices. I learn, each day, to be Clearer

beautiful Sky a controlling manipulating relationship
is so toxic but take control so slowly and systematically
that you don't see it... taking back your power is scary
it's good to see you've found your way free...
great write...
love Brenda 💕

Isn't it absolutely devastating, though, Brenda? One "should have seen it" coming, right? But you don't. It is weaved so slowly that it cannot be detected. Good grief, I've learned the lesson, but it cost me everything - but me.
Thank you for your words. You always speak so warm - soothing - in matters that crumbles people. That is the gift of a healer. 💕

yes beautiful Skye I know what you mean I find myself disengaging from such a relationship and I am terrified while my power was systematically stripped from me my confidence in myself was taken too...we are on parallel journies beautiful poetess you are a little ahead of me because you have started to get angry and are taking steps to permanently separate yourself... you are a warrioress don't forget it...
love Brenda 🌹💕🌹
