The Polite Neanderthal
He was graceful while holding doors
And my throat
A walking contradiction
sweet and full of vindication
silent violence
Chess moves logical yet absurd
Clinging to every word
push then pull then repeat
Lovebomb, devalue, ghost, block, delete
See what you don’t know at first
Is the Brilliant Neanderthal
Gets off on the hurt
Calculates and plots perfect timing
Waiting to strike when you’re light is shining
Not once did he raise his voice or demand
I flew willingly to this Idiots Neverland
Becoming it’s Tiger Lily with pride in hand
Savage enough to Win at all costs
Didn’t care how it came across
Wild things aren’t mean to be tamed
eventually the moth would find the flame
His & her lies instead of closets
Thinking it was an equation
And I might actually solve it
Lesson upon lesson 3 cycles in fact
Exposing the shadows, the sickness of lack reflected back and served as a snack
Egomaniac
with an inferiority complex
Emptied my cups & moved onto the next
Funny though how brokenness saved me
Fear of love, abandonment, rejection
Soul stripped from physical
Redirection
A tragedy of epic proportions
Cracked open my chest
Released from matrix distortions
What a fine show we put on my friend
I’ll catch you on the next one
Where I’ll be on the serving end
