Abused

You were in pieces, like broken bottles, I should have left you in peace
Your heart was dark, like the bottomless pit, I should have left you damned
Your fists were tight, like you were holding on to life, I shouldn’t have let you feast
You were double minded, like a two-edged sword, I shouldn’t have let you strike
I was naïve, like a fool at forty; I shouldn’t have walked into those chains

I had so many cheerleaders but you were never one
I was your sunshine, you were my solar eclipse
I wished you success you, you put me down
I was slow to notice but the manipulations of your sorcery became apparent
I was your Ruth, you were my Delilah

You tried to drown me, but you found me floating
In rage, you dug my pit, but you couldn’t bury me
And then you dragged me in your mud and unlike swine, I got stained
I was distraught but cleaned me up, got up to go
And then I found your misery loves company, you wouldn’t make that easy

You said you loved me, it’s a shame I gave my trust
You said you cared, it’s your shame you lied
Your lips dropped like honeycomb, your mouth smoother than oil
And yet I recall myself at your door, drinking from the forbidden pot
Another drinks of that cistern now, in six and six, it will be dried-up again

And yes, I heard the lies too, amazed that makes you sleep well
You breezed through so fast, all in one day
And now, you wink, you wanna be my day one!
Like a parasite to its host, you wanna stay glued
Sorry! You’ve had your cake, choke on that till there’s no more

Oh my days! I think I’m spiting blood
But I’d rather have mine than share my glass with unknown lots
Claiming solitude in the shelf is bliss but self-refills for every TD and Harry
I’d whine, cry and fight to have you back
But no! The goal remains happiness and I’m grateful for this stall

Peace!
