I’m nothing but your smile
the waters reflection of your strain,
the rasp of derision
the quiet creaking mast of echoes,
I’m nothing but the milked blood
you greedily sucked from my sadness,
you turned my fear into steam
as you overdosed on self worth,
I’m nothing but the lullaby
I squeeze out with my eyes tight,
the bucked teeth of your jealousy gnaws
the overshot jaw of dismay bites down,
I’m nothing but a solid shadow
faceless and without strength or might,
I absorb all the negativity and turn it around
dying a little more every time,
