I opened my life to you
I let you inside
Not knowing
What was in your mind —
The sharp blade of a knife
And now that my heart
Is sliced up in shreds
You’ve left me on the floor
While you’ve gone searching
For more
Trusting and unwounded
Fresh slate for your
Amusement
You go knocking
On doors

Dear Toxic Person
Just a few questions to ask of you. How can you say, ‘It’s good to see you are smiling again’? When it was you who took the smile away. How can you say – ‘Glad to hear you are good’? When you didn’t care when I said I wasn’t.
How can anyone ever believe anything you say? It is all a facade. I can see through you, and I always did. I always will. My heart was too soft. It is too soft now. But I can touch it. And nurture it with my soft hands.
Which is something you can never do.
Farewell from me, I say goodbye.
