To seduce and desert
I couldn’t be true, could it? You would never purposely
injure me would you? How can someone calculate the torture and demise of
someone they love? How do the mind, heart, and soul not prevent such blatant
destruction? Self preservation is universal, but how do you defend against
something you have only know as love? How do you strike back with a forceful
blow when the pain is so crippling the heavens can hear your soul weeping for
relief?
His eyes are cold, lifeless. Abandoned by any remorse,
affectation or regard for human frailty, he instead uses these as weapons.
Sharpened blade’s with which he means to destroy, damage, and scar. You sent
him here. You put my life within his wavy erotic objectification.
You got what you wanted, didn’t you? Or did you? If you
wanted me to know how much hatred skews your understanding of what love is
supposed to be, you have succeeded. If you wanted to inflict a blow so
imaginably painful that it will leave me scarred and aching for the rest of
life. You have succeeded in that as well.
But if you meant to destroy me, obliterate my sense of self,
of security, trust and love you have failed.
I have pity for you now. I am sorry, not for what you think
I may or may not have done, or that you have the illusion that I am the monster
staring back at you. The mask has been removed. The mirror is clean and there
is nowhere to hide when the sunlight of truth fills the room.
You are the betrayer
You are the monster
You are your own worst nightmare. I will not be there to
wake you up when the claws of obsession, unrest, anger and self loathing take
hold and tear you apart. You destroyed that solace from pain, and now there is
only empty cold in the dark.
Sweet dreams.
