ALL OR NOTHING

 

"All I ever did was give you the world."

Then why all I seem to do is walk on eggshells

Dispersed over this rusty, barren netherworld?

Why am I gluing up broken pieces with the rhythm of ominous bells?

I would shed those flimsy droplets,

But slots carved on my heart seep blood in rivulets.

Hence, I have nothing to offer now but hollowness.

So typical, to admonish myself, while you remain blameless.

Quite ironic how you point fingers at people who hurt you.

A venomous curse cutting through

Like a sharpened knife,

Despising those who achieved good things in life,

You presume you freed me from the cage.

Yet I was the one who became the key,

To fit into a narrow mold that was not meant for me

Just so we could turn the page.

You say you have given me everything,

But when the horizon darkens, I am left with nothing.

You incessantly complain about how it ended.

I merely wish it had never even commenced.
