Poisoned Mind


I want to know why all these

Misconceptions

Miscommunications

Misinterpretations

Climbed into your head.

Twisting and turning like vines on aged

buildings.

Where did it go wrong?

Why wasn’t I informed

Of the guilt

Pain

Mistakes

Aches

Why weren’t you open?

Mouth shut like a wrench.

I know you were angry

Angry at me

How could you drop everything?

How could you leave?

No explanations

Sit down one to one conversations

All problems, no solutions

I tried ringing up your phone

Text upon text

Trying to hear your voice but it was all a

void.

Leave without hesitation

Don’t know which was right

Intuition or persuasion 

I loved you.

And you crushed it.

Wish you saw me when I shattered

A damn fool for handing my heart to you

on a platter.
