Happy Anniversary

I

torture myself in your honor, you

narcissistic psychopath and don't,

for one second, think you're worth

living for you're not worth dying for, you

don't even have coin to pay

the ferry-man so

I'm still on my own, no

matter what choices I make because

of the things you've taught me and

the walls you've built around me that

I can't tear down, no

matter how hard I try.  My

soul has a become a shrine

of time lost and love and sanity

and grace

lost. All

in your honor, you

raised me from the ground

up and then set fire to my only

structure but I'm not

a phoenix, I

can't rise from the ashes of my own

shattered

everything.  All I can do is keep

crumbling and there are no

protestors fighting for my

restoration only my own

protests can be heard over

my jagged respiration because

you are caught in my throat

tonight and

I can't cough you up, can't

clear my airways and

you're the only person who

could ever hurt me but

you're also the only one who

can keep me from hurting

myself.

 

Happy anniversary.

It's always a mystery how people can be so in love with some that treats them bad and shows no redeeming qualities. Sometimes I think we just settle on what is here and easy.

Loneliness makes us accept the unacceptable

A splendid read and write. Thank you for sharing...:)
