Jade Coffin

A Poem by FoundInThought

Another night alone with my thoughts, another poem to let them out

I'm tired of all the half truths and the lies you've laid at my feet
I never would have guessed you were capable of such deceit
So now I'm done even though it's far too f*****g late
Feelings aren't good for anything except for tempting fate
Your words are poison and your voice is the syringe
I never thought the sound of it would make me duck and cringe
We've come full circle and we're back to the first square
Another kick in the face and a reminder that life isn't fair
I don't have the strength to get up and I doubt I ever will
The poison you've left me with has made me too numb to feel
I hope you're happy because this must be what you really want
Otherwise, maybe you could have been more direct and blunt
Maybe over time, the blows from your memory will soften
Until that day comes, buried alive in my Jade Coffin
