Words Of A Woman Scorned

9/11/15

I remember when I met you

You wore a charming mask

And spoke smoothly like you knew

The world laid in your hand

You must have been a serpent even then

But I failed to notice you

And you were well aware of that

Fast forward two months

It was July 17th

I remember clearly

We laughed and sat together

Looking down from a roof 

The height of which I had never ascended to

We looked down on the people

Creating our own versions of themselves

And I suppose then 

Was when you injected me with your venom,

But perhaps I already had been

Another month and you were mine,

But I suppose more accurately I belonged to you

I didnt know it

But you had me wrapped around your finger

Ive always thought I was no adornment 

But I must reconsider seeing how easily

I had become your servant

You whispered secret nothings and touched me gently

But I know now

That it was only ever a play

You said love, 

But you really only meant you were being entertained

It was on September 8th

That I learned of your infidelity

You were never my knight

You were instead the dragon

And indeed your reptilian claws

Were deeply embedded within e

Once I learned you took the wrong path

You ripped me open right from the center

I am still hurt

If I a going to be honest

But I shall channel that

Into a sturdy anger

That will not be put out so easily

I am savvy to your tricks now

Do not expect me to be blind anymore

For you may have gotten me then

But I am far stronger

And much more intimidating

That I have ever been before
