Relearning how to read


You have ruined everything Words. Even words. How does someone ruin words? Beautiful and flowing before, now just a pile of dust Books were pasttimes and songs were full of joy Music is heartbreaking And pens are a tad annoying Messages make me ache You've ruined words You are everywhere I look Two years and counting I've loved you so Break the ties they say Let it go they say But you have tainted the world I hope the next is beautiful and kind and smart enough to leave Unlike me who stayed So you could blacken every inch with your poison I wish I'd never said I do But do I? You're a lesson they say A blessing they say Go away... Please just...go away... No I'm begging you. I need to remember how to love everything again
