Strong from your weakness.

I tried to placate your anger.
diplomatic in the extreme
but you sucked out all my energy .
leaving me dry husked and hollow.

Drained the life blood from me,
with the ease of a teminal wound.
shattered my life on a whim
yet not, in self pity I wallow.

Inclined to agree, a venonous remark,
intended to kill was thrown.
Your words made me strong, I've moved on
To a place where your too weak to follow.

A wonerous place of non judgement,
where harsh words never will cut.
Where I'm shown unrivaled respect
and no pride nor tears need I swallow.

I like this,
But, it has a dark side, which catches the attention.
Unfortunately you’ll find that that armor,
Which one’s words wont pierce
Will not protect you against the next time;
When words attempt to destroy your heart.
