The Betrayal of Love

I know what love feels like

but according to you

our affair never happened

plucked from history

cloaked with invisibility

sure our love was volatile

but don’t rip that page out of your book

you’ll tear away at the person you’ve become

rip me of my skin

reveal my flesh

this is what I have left for you

that’s all I have to offer

you’ve taken everything from me

so why not take my identity

step inside my mind

I invite you into my home

so please don’t wreck it

be delicate

I’m sure your brain told you to take off your shoes

before you stomped around with your boots on

but you never listen

and foolish of me for allowing you to overstay your welcome
