My Ready Made Grave

79 9 14
                                        

I hide behind this facade

Waiting for you to notice

The cracks that appear

Across my well read face

Splintering memories across

My ready made grave.

My fate has been drawn

With a thin line separating

The Good from the Bad

Excusing your lies and threats 

and defining my mistakes

 and regrets of your torture.

In one wistful moment I 

Believed you to be gone

That for once I could be

Safe from your dares,

Our rivalry that became 

Dangerous far too quick.

Now I must face you as  I

Lay to rest at my tombstone

The hilt of your dagger presses

Against my throat.

My destiny was declared long ago

My blood was always on your hands.
