just walk away

"nothing more to see here, folks....just walk away (from the devastation)"

your aura chased me down

and dragged me back in

from the cold,

but then the welcome act grew old

you pulled the slickened mat

to watch me fall.

so now, while breathing fire you fan

those flames to

make them grow;

would you please back off?

just walk away,

just leave and let me go.

 

the pride you’ve made me swallow,

choking strangles

me within.

the heart that’s in my throat,

beating slower, ever closer

to demise.

so now, while looking backward, I’ve got

no substantial reason

to forgive;

please see it in your heart again…

then just walk away

and let me live.

I had a friend go through something similar to what you describe. It's not a fun time Your poem is wonderfully descriptive and captures the feelings perfectly.
