Reciprocity's Lament

Why should I
give you
what you arent even
willing to give

As I am layed out
upon your alter
of selfishness
Allowing you to drink
and drink... and drink
From my well of plenty

Greedy bastard!
what shall I do now
that my well is empty.

Even in my approach
to you
I was humble
Never demanding,
only
Asking
Never taking..
only
Hoping that you
would be willing to give
just alittle,a
microscopic amount
of your energy
Yet you..in your
Infinite  Cruelty
Denied me entry
Thru you..
I would NOT be filled
nor restored.
Now I see your only
purpose for me
Was to Steal My Light
To Kill my joy,and
To Destroy my soul.
It is clear,
that my tears
are wasted on you
so I will keep them
to myself,and shed them
in the quiet of my
heart,that one place
you did NOT succeed
in consuming,though
you thought you did

I pity you,because you
think you have conquered
my essence you think
that you have taken my
Everything.
This couldnt be further
from the truth
But its okay
Do your worst
For you have not known
The depth of
A woman scorned
Yet I will not give you
the satisfaction
of evoking my anger
you... YOU are not
worth it
YOU are not worth
the salt in bread.
I have about as much use
for you
As 2 dead flies in a bowl
of buttermilk...
and If I concentrate
Long enough,and
Hard enough
I will have chosen
to believe that you....
You never exsisted
at all.
Therefore,
I have lost nothing.
but after all your
elaborate plans
To defile
dissolution
and destroy
you have won
Nothing,
there will be NO
remnants of me
On any notches
on your belt.
For you see
As you were drinking
and drinking,and drinking
From me
the Universe
reversed your curse
and filled me with
Reciprosity,and
I am safe from
Your Loveless
emptiness
that will do nothing
but turn on you
and devour you
Whole.
