Transmutation
Nov 5 · 1 min read
Oceans fill my eyes
Turbulence riddles my stomach
Yet my cup never overflows
Strangely, my heart won’t allow me
To grieve your untimely death
I search for the strength to forgive myself
and to make amends for the agony
I sketched into my heart for placing
the noose of your unfulfilled words
around my neck
I strangled my self respect
A very strange fruit
Hanging from the poplar trees
This pill is hard to swallow
That this perception was all lies
A figment of my imagination
I fell in love with hollow hearted
nothingness
I reflect and think
maybe all this time
You wanted me out of your life
but didn’t know how to tell me how
