How could you?

To make life easier
You toiled to the bone
Lying to me
So I built your home
While you enjoyed
Keeping me alone
Having someone to punish
With your cruelties unknown

And did this horror,
This act of monstrosity
Drizzle into your soul
As gray, numb monotony
Or break and gush
In malicious ferocity
Marring with necrosis
Your tender humanity?

A death by days
By tiny murders, tiny lies
These tiny pounds of flesh
Coldness to the cries
Exacted from my soul
In your great enterprise
Of breaking what you cannot hold:

Love.
