Sweet Cruelty
March 17, 2014
Do you have to put such weight in my heart?
It’s sinking me deep in the dark abyss
Twisting my life in such exquisite art
Drowns in endless hollow much to your bliss
I ask you, “Why does this have to happen?”
Betrayals I have never expected
Falling in bottomless pits so barren
You just ripped me; you’re still unaffected
You had guided me, showed me everything
Especially cruelty at its best
Abandoning and leaving me scarring
I pray, “May your soul be filled with unrest.”
Here, ashamedly doused in hostility
Please, someone save me from this misery!
