Dysfunctional Poem by The Poet Darkling

Another lie to join the rest
Broken promises to haunt me
Cruelly spoken words, said in jest
Deception used just to taunt me

Evil looks that burn right through me
Ferocious and mad with intent
Garrulous phrases hurled about
Have naught to show for time I've spent

Indignant comments, said in haste
Just for the sake of being said
Killing me slowly with maybes
Leaving me confused, my heart, dead

Morose nightmares forced upon me
Nailing my coffin lid down tight
Opening up all my old wounds
Pontificating like you're right

Quarrelling until your last breath
Resisting every solution
Standing on principal and pride
Taming me with persecution

Underestimating my mind
Valuing things that are worthless
Wasting the things that DO matter
Xenogeneic and mirthless

Years have uncovered your true heart
Zymotic, puss-filled, poisoned dart
