I escape, to a safer, larger cage. I break from you, to fly away. I lost my grip. I let it ebate. I let the manacles rust and break. You were pleasure and pain in one pill. One ****** up child that I treasure, still. You were everything I sought to hold, but too confused to know. I sheltered you for all I'm worth. Until you released my hand. I felt it getting colder, but I didn't understand. You let me fall. You let me sink. You let me drift away. I tried my best to stay there, but I faltered and I felt betrayed. Was I not your faithful lover? Was I not your truest friend? How can you forget so easily? Why do you not contest this end? You may as well have pushed me in, mired in this murky pit. I realize, now, how I choked your veins, and how I killed your prayers. I told you that there was no god, that only I would always be there. But when did I lose your faith? I never broke my promises. I never arrived too late. I always bandaged the callouses, the cuts your razor made. I always washed the open wounds, and helped you hide your face. So why do I deserve this? How can this be fair? Why did you decieve me and pretend you really cared? I saw your bitter workings. I glanced behind the mask. I cried myself to death, that night, and never came completely back. But now I feel the freedom. Now I know release. Now I have the strength to stand, to run, to fly at light speed. I would have given you my life, would have bled every time you bleed. But now I hand you back the knife, demanding what you took from me. Return my years of toil, my pain and agony. Repay the tears I spent on you. Give me back my sanity. I only gave you everything. You took it and you crushed my heart. But time has taught me not to cry. It's your turn, now, to fall apart. "I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation." |

True strength can only be found within ourselves. From which all other things follow. Excellent write. mysticpoe If nothing is something |
