Blocked,
The word appearing before my eyes.
Locked,
Out of a story that slowly dies.
With my screen illuminating my face,
I watch and I stare.
How could this be true, how could this take place?
I earned an angered glare.
Storming out of your irises,
Hatred shook my bones.
You hate me for a crisis
That burned down our homes.
We were never aiming at each other;
That's what I believed.
But in the crossfire we hurt one another,
And I'm the only one who leaved.
With a broken heart,
Waiting for the sequel
Of this story that tore me apart,
With cuts that were never equal.
The knife cuts both ways,
I know that.
But I'm the only one who dies anyways,
It's written in the stars like that.
You kept screaming in the wind,
As rivers of pain fell from my eyes.
Yes, you won,
But at the expense of my goodbyes.
So do not call me a coward.
You were no better, you were fake.
You were poison in an orchard,
Wilting flowers in your wake.
Dying under your touch,
Suffering from your inflicted pain;
In your self destructive crush
You burned both of us in your dangerous flame.
The lies bled through your open hands,
And somehow stained me.
The knife pierced through my heart that fends.
Yet blinded by your fake love, I couldn't see.
Tolerated and even hated,
You never wanted me.
But you wouldn't let me go as you waited,
For a peace that would never be.
It was toxic for us both.
Why did I take the blame?
Our friendship was an oath,
That you broke all the same.

PoetryIf there was a price in emotion, this book would cost it all... Our tears were melodies that made our feelings a symphony. My life flashed before my eyes. And I got to fall in love with you all over again. I'm fine. But that's a lie.
