Dear You

INH

Dear, you,

Heartbreaker, silent leaver,

Soul sucker, life taker

You know who you are,

You know why I write to you,

Not for you,

Nor myself, today I write

For the souls still in your path

There is so much I feel from you,

It must be out of me

The toxins you left in me

I must take them and spread them here

Like jam on toast, but it’s harder to do

I shall leave it here,

Coating this page so as you read you

Suck, not my soul, but your own

Hold on to me and let it

Toxicate your flesh,

And poison your mind

It is you,

Soul sucker, life taker

Heartbreaker, silent leaver,

And not I,

Who deserves to

Pollute your life

After you, Soul sucker,

Lifetaker, heartbreaker, silent leaver,

I, a shell of myself,

A ghost in life,

Deserve sun and health,

I deserve life and warmth

And after me,

Lover,

You, soul sucker, life taker

Heartbreaker, silent leaver,

Deserve toxic skin, cold,

And death

If we move on unbalanced in how

We live the world, itself, will tilt to you,

Soul sucker, life taker, heartbreaker, silent leaver,

And in your reign, you will,

Suck every soul dry

Take every life

Shatter every heart

Leave the bodies behind quieter than ever before

So, dear you,

Soul sucker, life taker, heartbreaker, silent leaver,

You can see who I write for,

Not you, nor me

My soul long expired

So, dear you,

Coward,

I write for those poor souls still in your path,

May the toxicity, yours,

Locked in this page

Stop you,

Bring you down

Love, your past.
