Deceived

The flowers wilted

As you walked away

And with eyelids dimming

To the condescending sun

It haunted our reality

And I curse you

Words spewed at

The back of your head

Fuck you --

For waking me up

And stirring my soul

Making me feel

Like I'd finally found

My home

I slice my forearms laterally

In the shape of your spine

Calloused by your indifference

My heart breaks

All over again

Every time I inhale and

Light bulbs explode

In the presence of

Your ghost in limbo

I was a ballerina

Double-jointed and 

I am Stronger than I look

I will wear a gown

Made of dove feathers

Plucked and dyed

In India ink --

Blackened to the tone of

The condition in which ...

You abandoned my heart
