Transmutation

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
