"You're crazy"

A Poem

You entered loud with holy light

a savior in disguise

but every blessing that you gave

hid thorns behind the prize

😵‍💫

You study me like prey to stalk

you mirror, you twist, repeat

Build an inventory of my wounds

then worship at my feet

😵‍💫

Your love arrives in fireworks

then leaves in quiet dread

I learned to walk on splintered eggs

and hush the things I've said

😵‍💫

Your hate arrives in quiet jabs

in smirks that split me thin

you watch me doubt my very breath

and count that as a win

😵‍💫

Your voice, a heavy sharpened blade

slicing me with every word

you say the storms are in my head

and to dismiss everything I heard

😵‍💫

You spin the truth until it bends

until I can't recall

what's real, what's mine, what's memory...

you rearrange it all

😵‍💫

You call me crazy, unstable, wrong

and push until I break

then I'm the one who's crazy

and should learn from my mistakes

😵‍💫

You slam the doors like loaded guns

then leave without a trace

you crawl back in with empty vows

and hands that cup my face

😵‍💫

Your apologies are empty shells

a script you never feel

you toss around those empty words

and swear your tears are real

😵‍💫

You punish me for speaking up

and smile while I plead

You fill me with your poison love

you swear it's all I need

😵‍💫

Cuz I'm the one who started it

I'm the one untrue

but madness wasn't born in me

it's what I breathe from you
