Again and again, like an encore that never stops
I feel like everything’s hit me like a ton of fucking rocks…
My heart bleeds for you to love me instead of forsaking me…
We all know that I will never be who you want me to be…
You take me through a twist of emotions as you weave in and out of my life…
I am so damn tired of my back being stuck repeatedly with a blunt knife
You broke me once, twice, and more times than I can further count
I have to find new things to occupy myself and care about…
This is the 5th time I have started anew…
I promise this time I will not break because of you.
Like the purple blending in the darkened sky
I will become camouflaged and not be seen by your eyes.
The malevolent blackness living upon the trees
I embrace the black and never fall to my knees.

Powerful and poignant. Sometimes, strong language is needed to get the point across. I don’t find this offensive, E.M. Thanks for joining in.
