Blackened Heart
I know your game
and I've seen all this shit before.
oldest game in the book.
You expected me to cut my ties
shatter all relationships
and burn all my fucking bridges.
Then leave me in the middle of nowhere?
And sneer at my attempts to rebuild
I put it all out there
no bullshit, no lies.
I've lost all I've fought for
just to satisfy you.
Put my trust in you
feed you my affection
but it never meant a fucking thing.
How I feel, defines me.
and you've brought this upon me.
You can't see what burns inside
what monster you yearn to unleash
I will not destroy myself
not anymore,
not for your entertainment.
Play me on, lead me astray.
Fuck with my Blackened Heart
you've left me here
Angered deeply from betrayal
I stare out into the horizon
and I observe the great Fires
that I have started
for your entertainment
And now, I stand here clenching my fists
head bowed, spirit crushed
and reaching out
for fucking zero.

This is a deeply emotional piece. Hopefully it didn't occur from a misunderstanding. Makes me think of having a best friend, who fucked you over, after years of companionship. Tough blow man.

re: Re: Blackened Heart
Strong emotions, and fiery passion exists for a reason, especially in those who embrace it. And for those who pour it into an unworthy, blackened pit, are drained of all affection. And left only with bitterness, spite and anger. Left to grow stronger, and stronger, until it cannot be contained. Or controlled. And is unleashed upon the world.
This misunderstanding is not the reason for my outburst here.
But certainly contributes.
Thank you, Caliban.

Atleast you have a head on your shoulders enough to see past the deception people often try to manipulate others with. Very passionate write bro, pissed me off just reading it. I could feel the rage as every stanza progressed.

I know exactly how it feels to be in this situation. This is very well written and it explains all the hurt you feel in this situation. But it also shows that you are strong enough not to put up with it anymore.

Powerful, direct, and succinct. You undeniably achieve a defiant poem.
Would you ever take the opportunity to read this to your muse?

Now that is a good question, I would take that opportunity if I could, say it straight to her face.

there's no true to wash
away the pain even though
it goes away for a moment
or two
