I am chained to you, my enemy…
Every day, I writhe and groan
My face an angry mask.
Beast rises with every pain
That ever came to pass.
I look in the mirror
And claw and tear,
I so wish you were dead
I’m close to tears.
Tug at the chains
And wish them begone,
Only to find
It’s not what I want.
I cry out in rage
And repeat,
Clawing at the mirror,
My nails bleed.
“Curse you! I will make you pay,
For reliving hell every day.”
Obsessed I wait to see
You grovel at my feet.
Then, I plaster a smile,
Pretending all is fine,
While I am still chained to you
Every second of my day,
My enemy…
