You are Nothing

I’m not sure what this is that I’m feeling

This sickness in my heart

This wretched bile rising in my chest

The truth my shaking hand have found

I’m not sure whether it is panic

Or perhaps it is betrayal

Maybe it is just blind rage

From this truth I’m not meant to have seen

A million explanations I can think of

None of them quell my angst

The shaking worsens and the bile rises higher

The life sucked from my body

Fighting back tears

The pain seeps through my skin

Shaking, retching, crying

Get it away from me

I don’t want this truth, I don’t want it

I would give my all for you, would you for me?

Pretty words aren’t so comforting now

Get away from me, I don’t know you

You are this person I never knew

Those pretty words meant nothing, I knew it

Don’t touch me, it disgusts me

Don’t try and speak to me, you have no right

You will have no respect of mine

You will have me no longer

The mere sight of you makes me sick

Stand back, don’t touch me, get away

You are dead, you are nothing, you are unknown to me

Leave me, get out of my life

Leave what is left of my being

There are no second chances, now go

You are less than nothing to me.
