You ought to know
better
Know
how
not to tear
a soul
asunder
laying
waste
to a few moon's
worth
of blood
blood
side swiped
across
slick
linoleum
lies
I saw you
with her
an older
shorter
stouter
version
of Me?
Ushering her
forward
down the aisle
her will
broken
by the hopeful promises
you loved to whisper
when we women
wander
to far out
on our
own
You even kept me
a chained and neglected
pet
for your amusement
while you baited another
until
in your foolhardy
frippery
fingers
flipped
a cd
into the car stereo
insisting I would like it
only to quickly
rip it out
red faced
a bead of sweat running
down from the thinning
edge
perhaps it was the your conscience
casting its shadow
that caught
my minds eye
I still remember
the depth of my darkness
slowly sliding
the cd
in
and the words
reaching down into the depths of me
pulling forth
vehement vitriol
rage so red
the sun blushed
it was then the shackles
fell off
shattering into dust
at my feet
I stood
firmly on
my
own
and I knew
