Evanescence Poem by rxvaille .

barely three months
yet you made it feel as if it were no more than an elysian eternity
before you chose to tear it all down like it wasn't even the slightest bit memorable.

why would you give up on something so special when you could just finish what you started
instead of leaving me here to drown in the unruly tide of my own pathetic anguish.

you are the reason my twilight skies have faded to ash.
the reason my aurora oasis ​has crumbled into nothing but a dark void
where i'm left to suffocate in the reminiscence of you.

why am i being punished for a crime you committed.
my heart was glass and you were the one who dropped it.
so casually cruel
you were the one who watched as it shattered and slipped into the spiteful sea you settled between us.
now i slide the glistening vermillion shards left behind across the delicately thin skin of my already raw wrists
because of you.

i hate you
i hate that you're still burned into the back of my crowded mind.
i hate that you're the one i want more than anyone else
when you are the reason i'm feeling like this.
when you are the reason i feel as though i'm just a little crease in your life
waiting to be smoothed over.

you crept into into my life when i needed your warmth the most
now you're leaving me in a state where the desolately grieving blizzard is worse than ever before.

you think i cant recognize what kind of man you really are
behind those charming words
that drip like the sweetest viscid venom from your pretty lips

as it turns out you are not the lion in this story
all you are is a weak little lamb.
