Ashes
You thought you won
VICTORY, as you took everything
from me
You planted the seeds
of shame, of guilt
And watered them daily
until they grew bigger
than I was...
A jungle of lies
A testament to your
POWER over me
Things change.
Now I have the
POWER to destroy you
Your carefully constructed
world is a house of cards
And you're the joker
If I tell ONE person,
it will spread --
A wildfire through our family
Consuming everything
in its path
To get to you
Until it burns you ALIVE
And I pour your ashes
out in some dark basement room
Like the one where you
THOUGHT you destroyed me...
But I survived.
