inpieces

reason
you have nothing to lose
for it was nothing of importance to you
i never knew
i should have known
you use your words to poison the edge
the edge of the blade you pierce in me
i see these walls
and what was once laughter in even the darkest hallway
now just screams of silence

trust
i have too much, i have too little
i lost it all
in your selfish acts, in your bitter ways
that even now whisper madness into my soul
like an enemy behind a mask
you came in and completed your task
as you walk away with a smile on your face
and your illness a pawn

forget
could i really allow myself
to believe the lies you told
then i told to myself
i allowed you to invade
a sacred space
a hollow gap
that you can never replace
