Beautiful music falling on deaf ears

A sigh escapes you
matching the picture painted on your face

you breathe my name out like poisonous smoke
along with any respect you had left for me
and start to walk away

I should feel relief but I'm bone dry

no benefits left to offer you
and none to receive back
not even the benefit of the doubt
you seem far too poor to pay me that courtesy

I'm sorry you're disappointed with these results
but I can no longer be your weapon of choice
the stone you use to kill birds

I am finished
a diminished source of energy
with no where left to transfer myself
I dissipate
the only evidence of my existence
your opinion of me

I hope in time you will realise
I had your best interest at heart

Terribly sad, but very effective! Your metaphors are complex yet still very understandable and fitting!

I wish your pieces were longer! I see this and pieces like "Sounds Perfect" as the old, great cartoons they use to show before a movie, which turns out to be BETTER than the movie. They are quick and effective, but I wish I had more out of them! You're great at painting quick, but vivid pictures!
