There‘s a blade piercing my heart

And I keep pushing it deeper

I cannot let go

Of the handle

Lest you grip it

Again.

Hatred

Keeps my hands tied

My smile has faded

Since you tried

So hard to steal it.

I cannot even smile

When I look at the stars

The moon mocks me

With its ghostly light

As I rot in a prison

Made by you.

Your castle of bliss was built

With my bones as foundation.

Crushed by your ambition

I lie in this dark place

Where time has halted

And the earth stopped breathing

Everything has died here

Like me inside my shell.

I ceased to exist

But one thing still lives

Burning ever brightly

Scorching, boiling—

My resentment

For you.
