Blank card

Staring at the empty greeting card for an hour
Can’t find the right words to say
I am trying to bring back the right emotions
But all I can feel is the pain within
All of your vile criticisms
Your strings of lies and violation

I can’t say a word without you blowing things out of proportion
One month, I never expect a fairy tale
But neither a nightmare
Everyday full of fights
Everyday that passes by full of gory details
There’s no conversation that won’t last as an argument

My sanity is rapidly changing
I can’t open my mouth with one single word
Without you reacting a thousand curses
You kept on leaning forward
With fingers pointed at my face
Shooting blankly at space

I was never right
I never fit in your wardrobe of agony
I never did right
I’m tired of giving you my full length
Of patience and understanding
What seems to be right now seems so wrong

You toyed with my being from the very beginning
But I just shrugged it off
I never forced myself in you
I was always willing to let you go
You never see the bright things in life
Whilst always make sure that you’re darting the dark side of it

You never see any good in me
You always look for deep dark holes that you can peek
My past and people from it are far more important for you
Than getting to know me better
My mistakes are all that matters to you
Than raising that flag of peace

I surrender
I’m badly wounded
Tired, swollen and beaten
Bruised with your caricatures of monstrosity
You’ve never given my any chance
You always want to get things your way or highway

Well know now, it’s time for me to walk away.
