Divided Unity

DIGNITY (1/2)

I built up some semblance of confidence and had it shattered

And believed what I saw and what words said I mattered

It took with its shards all I had left of my worth

And for it my heart paid buried deep in the earth

I want that pane back, the one you ripped from my chest

And you know what you did, hope uneasy you rest

I want what you gave me then took with your claws

And closure ensuring no vengeful ghost's calls

I'm tired of reliving your arms and chapped kiss

And for some reason thinking that's what I should miss

I'm sick of your cracked voice relaying in my brain

And sending me nothing but heartaches and pain

I don't wish you ill nor do I wish you well

And I wish you no heaven, nor wish for your hell

I'm nothing like you, god forbid that to change

And put forth my mind's words on an empty stage

I know what you're like, I've eyes from all around

And rage that you've caused with no fire to be found

I'll spite you in all respects, pay no scorn and no sympathy

And wait for you, Jake, to give back my fucking dignity.
