No,
I will not give in
to this ritual anymore.
Not another useless teardrop
will spill from my eyes,
burdening my pillows
to carry the weight of guilt
from your deceit.
My fragile soul,
will no longer be,
a toy for you to squeeze.
Heart heavily stained with regret,
my new determination,
is to bury your lies
amid the graves of false prophets.
And as I stand in silence,
in the shadow, cast by a guardian angel.
I can, for the first time
in what seemed like eons,
smile at the dawn,
fearing not, the tears of tomorrow.
