Your words are powerless.
You shoot them at me,
like daggers meant to pierce
through my back
But it will only hurt
if I let it.
Deep breaths,
One to calm my pounding heart,
another to ease the lump forming
in my throat.
I know that you only hurt me
to soothe the burns from the
hatred burning at your heart.
Deep breaths ,deep breaths,
the knife you plunged inside
my chest will pierce through
the universe_
Only to be redelivered to you
by my dear friend karma.
Deep breaths ,deep breaths...
You'll ache for me once I am gone.
And when you're left alone,
I hope you know,
I understood
even when you made your pain
my own.
