Embittered emotion fills my lungs,
But the words stay caught in my throat.
I have more to say than can be spoken by 1000 tongues
And million rage-filled notes.
I smile, as if on cue
Like a puppet being pulled by a string
I want to rip every organ out of you.
I want to dethrone the untouchable king.
This grudge eats away at everything in me that is good
Like acid; it feeds away at my soul.
I try to forget like I know I should
But my hate now has too much control
I laugh, as if content
Like a fan clapping in delight
I want to see you repent.
I want to unhorse the noble knight.
Behind the fallacy of forgiveness;
My misleading nods, my quivered voice, my affirmation.
Lies a resentful spirit, waiting restless
For her delayed compensation.
I am silent, as if complying
Like you’re giving confessional to an absolving priest
I want you at my feet crying.
I want to erase the artist’s masterpiece.
But I hold back, as if unsure
Like a baby searching for the source of an injury
I want to see you crawling on the floor.
Shocked, as I once was, that you could ever be hurt by me.
