Fight

Ingest it...
Your self created poison,
Seasoned with your manipulations,
Served scolding hot
With the hell fire that is surely one day your destiny.

The words of your mouth
Can burn like gasoline
Melting flesh and confidence,
Turning peace and hope into ashes.

Do you sleep?
Are you relaxed with the notion that your disguise
Is made so well
That observers pass you by unaware
Of the vulgarity and violent insecurity
You exhale into the atmosphere?

But you are clumsy,
Predictable,
And your eyes are vacant...soulless.
You blame my departure,
But you were empty long before I tried to love you.
God knows I tried.
I tried to love you, despite of yourself.

But you imprisoned me.
Striped me naked of my self respect and peace of mind.
You p****ed across the doorway of my freedom,
Marking your territory like the dog you are.

I felt it...
The cold,
The panic.
I trembled in fear of the lifelessness of everything I was.
And I became desperate for air.

So I breathed...
A deep long breath.
And I ran with all my might.

Your attempts to punish me since,
Have returned only to punish you,
Trapping you into a fake life,
A fake love,
A fake future.
Suffocating yourself,
Only no one can rescue you.
So choke.
Gasp for each breath.

I've got a life to live,
And all the oxygen I need.
