Parting gift....

Parting gift

Here is my parting gift
Placed in decapitated arms that once
Wrapped around you like a necklace
Sitting outside the door
You said was forever closed
Only to reopen and attack so willingly
You cannot decide where you're going
Cannot escape your love without hate
So you leave yourself to never knowing
Keeping me in the middle to procrastinate
You scold me like a monster, like a beast
A grotesque disgusting figure
Burn me in your flames of regret and mistake
Yelling your voice of censor
Tear me down in your insecure perception
Persecute me with your judgements
I only knew you in chaotic isolation
Committed suicide with us, falling in pavement
So you cut yourself with scissors
Corner yourself with so many ruthless predators
I will never be there to save you
With the absence of over privileged friends
There is nothing more to do
You will never feel my skin
My breath or my touch again
The one you always begged to feel
The tongue that made your pleasure
It is long gone
Your ghost is dead
I have no more words to speak to you
May you always have this parting gift....
