Tangled In Honeysuckles

the gift of life

sometimes we argue in the dark

i stand before you drenched in nights reassuring silence

reminded of the nothingness i was before you breathed me to life

by the emptiness of the black and the cutting threats you use to force your selfish agenda down my throat

all my words are muffled in the space between us

silenced before they are heard

I've spend a lifetime screaming into your abyss

And hearing myself echo back

If you haven't learned by now you never will

I wish everyday you left me in the nothing you ripped me from

But now I've no choice.
I've got to live this life you've thrust upon me

And I refuse to do so crushed by guilt of what I never asked for
