My final declaration
My final declaration
Lying alone in the dark
Waiting for the arms of sleep to enfold me
The all consuming warmth that it brings
Refuge from you, and all your brutality
Yet, even in sleep your presence is not erased
Thoughts of you intrude on my sleep, enveloping me in fear
Your scent invades my senses, your voice echoes in my mind
Things said, past and present, play them selves out in my minds eye
Thoughts that should bring joy, one would think
Not in this case, thoughts of you bring out
The worst feelings of anger, fear and pain
Possibly imaginable to rise to the surface
Erupting into an all consuming need to resolve
A thirst for revenge, a need for redemption
But this will never be mine
You carry on going on your path of destruction
You obliterate everything good and pure
You cause all happiness to melt away
Your bring nothing but heartache, pain and suffocation
All in for the purpose of your self gratification
Self gratitude that you are not due
Heartache, pain not your right to claim
A suffocation of free will and individuality
Not yours to inflict
You no longer have that right,
You no longer warrant any presence in my life
My soul or my heart
Neither in my mind
This was never your claim to stake,
Never was and never will be
For it will be a cold day in hell
Before you will enter my life again.
