Rubies And Trash, 2023
I gave up the rubies for trash,
for my missing piece is beneath your lash.
You let your injuries injure me.
All of your sharp words pierced in my brain,
the marks you left on me are still in my skin.
There's no more reason to stay,
but I remain waiting for a change.
You played me like a game,
keep on calling me names.
You forced me to take all the blame.
You said I should have stayed,
when you're the one who pushed my love away.
In all of my pain, you had excuses.
You had your own made-up story against my bruises.
I thought you'll be my sunshine after the rain,
but you became one of my worst fears.
All I want now is to escape from the echoe---
of “Why do you have to
kill me when I'm fighting for you?”
