my own little world

Whenever I say "whatever"
pressure builds and conscience collides
every time it's whispered "I don't care"
I hear screams and failure to choke inside
every time.

and now...
it's enough.
pushed back into reality
I see the decaying lie,
angered truth,
a distorted trap I allowed him to lure me to.

and I break.
down.
to the ground.
where i belong.
tortured silence allows contemplation.
but it's never over.

I see
her betray
him devour
and then she pushes him away
too late
too much
I don't like her.
want to kill him.
but I'm jerked back
and force fed my own words
"Whatever"
"I don't care"
then hear screams and failure to choke inside

my God, my God...I want to hide.
what do you want from me?
I understand forgiveness
but there must be more
I can feel this isn't over
and my conscience bleeds.

After forgivness comes patience/ long suffering.  Learing how to cope with it.  Yeah I've definitely had my share.  Like punching myself in the face out of persistent and constant frustration, which does eventually end.  And in this case leave me with a headache.
