Dead To Me

Enamored from the start
Bright eyes
Chocolate skin
Blemish free
You convinced me you were the one for me
Muscular thighs
Legs that ran miles
Rubber to the ground
Cautious, like a lost puppy
Love can now be found
All your tales of woe
Made me want to protect
Your heart
Your mind
Your body
Your love
I vowed never to neglect
But little did I know you weren't there yet
And never would be
At least, not for me
Every lie
Every false alibi
Little did I know
It would kill a piece of me
Of my soul
Of my being
As you tossed yourself out into the world for the taking
The elder said you were a man in the making
But she falsified
As you lied
Wearing a mask of love was an excellent disguise
With every text
Every social declaration
Every email
Every list
Filled with names of your “friends”
But really your conquests
All the while
Remaining in an eyes-of-God vow
There comes a time
When the strongest person is made weak
The straw maintains it strength
As the back,
No longer tough like its physique,
Becomes damaged
Becomes broken
My time, energy
My love
Was stolen
Space taken
When you should have been replaced
In my anger
I've killed you a thousand times
Murdered your words
Those that promised to never hurt me

DEAD

Stabbed your eyes
Those that looked me in mine

And lied

And lied

And lied

You cried
I cried
Then you lied some more

DEAD

Burned your hands
Those that wiped away my tears
After you looked me in my eyes and lied
Promising to never hurt me

DEAD

Visible to the naked eye
To the world you exist
But in my heart your tombstone rests
