To You

Dear blue boy,
Do you realize
What you did

This is not an argument for an apology
This is a thank you note
For all the horrible you gave me

We poured out souls put to each other
And without a second of feeling
You stole yours back without giving
Me a chance
To to pilfer mine back

Now I reminisce on the bad times
But oh wait
We haven't even gotten to the worst part
You tore me a part pice by pice

Using your words as daggers
And your thoughts as water
Drowning me not letting me
Get a single breath of air

You convinced me with those
Coffee eyes that you
Would never leave me
You broke me down

You lied
And I didn't know
Jealousy could cause
So much harm
But jealousy was the lighter fluid
Adding to the wildfire of events

And the drought was soon to come
Medicating the drowning
But but suffocating the grounded

Soon we all break down
Except you
And I envy that
Because you don't seem to feel

But we were just basic people
In a basic world
With basic feelings
And I thought we were basically the same
But I guess the basics aren't as basic as
They used to be

You ruined near to everything for me
You wilted me
Your burned me
You drowned me
You stabbed me
And somehow I can't seem to hate you
And I hate that

You temporally ruined my life
And I thank you for that
-M. Bentley
