Obscurity

Piece by piece,

He unraveled my inner peace.

And all of these vicious, sharp words I hold in,

Cut at my soul instead of his.

He cast me as the queen,

Of his messed-up fantasy.

I want a man who can talk to me & really see,

Lately, the apathy has been killing me.

The fiery rage spread through my veins,

It feels like if I touched him, 

I could set him aflame.

You love me,

This is true.

But where do I come in,

The habits, routines & addictions, 

That you’re attached to?

I am the kindest kind of crazy,

My emotions eat me alive.

And my throat burned from all the fire,

I was too tender to speak.

I get discouraged,

Because he doesn’t understand me.

He say, he loves me beyond anything, 

Then how could he see tears running down my cheeks 

And still not believe?

I love him with the depth of,

My heart & soul.

I’m true to him,

My love is pure.

He belongs to everyone,

Except me.

Trying to connect with stone – Fixed

Doesn’t he want to feel alive?

He shuts me out at the worst times,

And I’m expected to give it time.

I open my heart,

Outside his brick wall.

Cutting my hands & bleeding,

On the iron of his unbendable edges.

I know he’ll hear me,

But never speak.

Darling! The center of my universe is you,

But the issue is that you’re yours too.

And in a weird place,

He just returned to me.

But I don’t know this time,

If he’ll stay or leave.
