I wish
I could leave you.
Spread the word
that you are gone
with a
triumphant shout.

But you never reveal yourself
enough to introduce.
They always
blame

You find it funny-
but your game
slowly ruins me.
You cause misery,
tears enough to drown in.
I can't eat.
I sleep until I forget
what time means.
You leave me
losing who I really am.
Depression,
you wear me thin,
and I lie for you.
I claim it's all fine.
I stitch a smile,
my newest project.
But the truth bleeds
out
in ink
as my sanity dies.
And you go harm
and haunt
another poor
soul
unsuspecting
