My Goodbye to an Ex-Lover

by Orbis Unum

January 5, 2016

screaming, crying, whaling I spit my words of loathing and wrath at that stupid smirk on your face

yet again I have worn my heart on my sleeve which you, my dear friend, were supposed to protect

your lies flow off you tongue like some pathetic serpent, so certain you will calm me and return things to order

but I have had enough

you have had so many last chances and each time you dug another knife deep into my back

I want to rip your dumb tongue our of your mouth

maybe you would finally learn to listen

I hear you crying on the other end of the phone, practically begging for my love

for my forgiveness

but every lie you told poisoned me, destroyed me until now

you have at last gotten to my very core

the bit that's left of me looks at you with the disdain and hatred of an enemy

you were my best friend and my lover

and all I asked was for you to be true, to protect my porcelain heart which you knew was already cracked

enough is enough

and how dare you make me feel like some side chick, some rag doll or sick voodoo doll for your rotten love and fuck then prick and rip at the seams for your own entertainment

I deserve better

Fuck you
