REVENGE IS SWEET

By Kerry Willis

You watched me bear my heart and soul

over something that was out of my control

Sitting there, so majestic on your high pedestal

That damn smug look on your face, I recall

You cast me out into the cold, dark street

I felt betrayed, reluctantly admitting defeat

Head held low in humiliation and shame

Was it really all my fault, was I to blame?

I felt paralysed, rejected and demoralised

My whole being, tortured and traumatised

My mind, a matrix, trying to make sense of it all

Questioning, how did I get here, and when did I fall?

Banished, like a fugitive, it's not how I want to live

If I promised to right my wrongs. Would you forgive?

Frantic, flashbacks of moments, a vision, vivid yet vague

as if you're trying to remember the words from a song

 That same, damaged, broken, defragmented song

 playing repeatedly in my fragile, fucked up head

 Sounding sharp, so shrill, I could hurt, I could kill

 If I dared, blue flashes of light and sirens blared

 Something sticky on my side, is this real? a glint of steel

Did I leave? I can't breathe, I see spots of blood red

 Am I dying, have I died. am I already …. DEAD!

 Yet it's not my blood, it doesn't stop, continuously pours

 If it's not my blood, then my darling, it must be yours?
