Anthesis
THE EMOTIONAL
The fine line
Between love and hate
The defining negative
Ricocheting abhorrence
Releasing the poison within
Spreading throughout the body
Punches in the stomach
Pain in the eyes
I was yours
But I was not my own
THE SOCIAL
You wanted me
And I needed you
The isolation swept in
Like the destruction of love
The sudden but subtle
Loss of myself
Scornful eyes from you
Burning eyes from them
Our togetherness
Became our loneliness
THE PHYSICAL
The onset of distrust
Released pent-up rage
Falling in slow motion
Whiplashing hair
Cracks in front
As my body fell back
Like the cat of nine tails
Blood droplets streaked tears
Because I could not cry
For dismantled souls
THE INSPIRATIONAL
The ashy habit needs to go
But it is not forced
The anger towards others
Is calmed with reason
The beauty is reiterated
Because the adoration is there
The love he has for me
Has inspired my love within
This one sees the best in me
And allows me to be free
