Shut me out and shut me up
Don't want my world, you've had enough
You cannot take it, take the pain
You put me through all over again
But darling, this revenge is mine
Just lay down and close your eyes
Fall into your own dismay
Love me only on your dying day
The life we had, you destroyed
Don't try to scream, make no noise
I will not touch you, bring you harm
Just show you everything you've done
Horrors play before your eyes
Don't you like it? It's your life
Every lie you've ever told
Is laid out here in molten gold
Everything you put me through
Now forced down on top of you
You cannot move, cannot speak
No more lies, no more deceit
Cowering in your personal Hell
Nothing but what you've made yourself
Silence now, as you cry
Silence now, to wonder why

bravo!
a deliciously dark piece! truly 'molten' revenge
*although I must say the font is..... horrendous lol
I like the fast pace of the piece, and the rhyme helps the flow, like this person is just spitting with anger.!
well penned.
thank you for entering! -
