Poetry / Moonlight

Moonlight

The ocean whispered all their names
Every night of deception you had
An empty bottle floated atop the waves
Reflecting in eyes so sad
Time has passed coldly
My heart left alone to freeze
And now I feel the sting of pain
Carried along this stormy breeze
Truth always surfaces
From a sea of bottomless lies
A second’s glance confirms it
Can’t conceal your lying eyes
The length of hardships endured
Walked alongside you each time
Speechless from your deceit
Blinded by the tears I cry
I told myself you were different
Ignored the cautions I received
I placed faith in a heartless life
Because in you I believed
Felt I could help you change
Thought all you needed was love
Gave you every piece of me
To feel your downward shove
Crucified by all the memories
Every fingertip placed upon my skin
Burned a trail straight to my heart
Latched on and dug right in
No beauty remains beneath such scars
And you’ve cut me for the last time
The blade with which I was inflicted
Befalls these hands of mine
Your ignominious love burns me
This time you’ll feel the sting
I only hope you’ll have a taste
Of the rage your presence brings
I swear if you even say it
I’ll cut the words from your throat
Blame me one more time
And I’ll capsize this boat
Been treading dangerous waters
You and your fallacious heart
On my life, I promise revenge
I was burned from the very start
Your beguiling smile froze me
Every time I looked into those eyes
I thought I found a trace of truth
But I missed the depth of your lies
Simply another scorned lover
At the mercy of your touch
How I hate the feeling of defeat
Knowing I loved you so much
I also carry a misconception
And, oh, how you failed to see
You merely saw an angered woman
But missed the heart inside of me
You threw away my soul
Atop the silver platter I gave to you
A lifetime of warranted love
Disposed for solitude
May you sob in my absence
And find peace within my name
I hope you scream it out aloud
Realizing life’s not the same
Without me you have no structure
A frame which will bend and fold
For I gave a true gift of compassion
Cannot chisel a surface so bold
You blindly led me into this war
Not caring if I took a hit
You walked away and left me bleeding
Upon this pile of your shit
Who said it was okay for you
To manipulate my tender mind?
You spread your love to manifest
I want nothing of your kind
Curling and crashing at my feet
These waves tell a sea of lies
The moonlight shines across your face
And into your wholeness, I dive
