Your capacity for cruelty
never ceases to amaze me
i find new depths
with each episode of madness
your counterfeit charges
embellished
with your own skewed reason
guilty
before the plea is even brokered.
stuffing words in my mouth till
I'm choking
barely a breath in
And you have me begging for death.
your apologies thread bare of hope
my knuckles white with rage
all you see is ungratefulness
when I all I'm trying to do is cope
living in your cage.
