Sledgehammer

by Sam Harty

By ᔕᗩᗰ ᕼᗩᖇTYPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Your verbal

sledgehammer

demolishes me.

Words that crush

all that I am,

all that I thought,

while I try to find

rhyme or reason

for the assault.

-+-

As floods of malice

pour out from wounds

I could not see

in you, from you.

I am broken

beyond repair.

It's only cold now,

now that I see

you no longer care.

-+-

I forgot how

to breath.

I deconstruct

everything I am.

It's no longer of import

why you eviscerated

me with your words,

why you left me

as you did.

In the end

you didn't love me

was what occurred.
