You Revolt Me

You Revolt Me

When I think back to the ways you tore me down,

Wielding words like weapons, making me drown,

Your charm was a mask, your kindness a game,

A master of lies, yet so quick to blame.

You reveled in power, in breaking my will,

Feeding on control, leaving me still,

A narcissist’s web, I was caught in the strands,

But now I’ve escaped your cold, grasping hands.

I see your face, it fills me with disgust,

A bitter reminder of broken trust,

But no longer can you darken my skies,

My soul’s untethered, my spirit now flies.

Without you, my world blooms with light,

The air is clearer, the stars shine bright,

My life is better, my heart is free,

For I’ve reclaimed the best of me.
