Exhausted Poem by R. Ariffin

The things you smother and cut me with
The words you chose to thrust at me
The years that’s gone and for imprudent acts
The truth and love that you would not see

The enthusiasm you mislead me to believe
The hurt you’ve caused in numerous ways
The loss of my own self being
The same argument of different days

The madness you shoved and thrashed me with
The arrogant and egotistic that you needed to be
The exhaustion of hope that I’ve become
The silent rage that devoured me
