You’re back,

back to play,

back to fool,

back to lie,

back to poison,

was it not enough?

the games, the lies, the hurt,

you turned them all against me,

and now you’re back for more,

what did i ever do,

but try to love you,

loyalty spat from your mouth,

like lava from a volcano,

honesty left you,

like smoke in a cage,

shed your skin,

of kindness and love,

to reveal brittle bones,

cradling spite and hatred,

back to turn,

back to hate,

back to hurt,

back to ruin,

the small world i’d built around me,

now surrounded by kindness,

you made me feel more alone than ever,

will you ever know,

when to stop?

you send me texts,

“meet me here”

i won’t.

you send me letters,

“forgive me”

i won’t.

you talk to me,

“i’m not sorry”

i know.

and then you ask me,

to take you back?

i will never
