I think about you
All alone
Surveying the damage
Bombed out relationships
Devastating losses
Wondering how it feels
To know it was you
Who pulled the trigger
Pressed the button
Blasted away
Trust, respect
Integrity
Destroying
Companionship
Warm touches
Even salty tears
Because around you now
Sits desolation
A poison cloud
Is the air you breathe
Do you wonder
If your other lies
Will catch up to you?
Your racist slurs
Your angry stabbings
At friends and neighbors
Every green thing
You killed
While you cry about the
Unfairness of life
It’s all out to get you
Or so you say
When I do think about you
It’s in pity
The love is gone
The longing, too
My thoughts are not
Wistful
Because your
Missiles were often
Aimed at me
You sought to
Use my vulnerability
And my kindness
As proving grounds
For your artillery
But my karma
Protected me
Still I tried to help you
As I winced in pain
Bandaged the wounds
You made
Before my escape
I’m safe now, but you?
You are the victim
Of your own karma
The sum of your words
Your deceit
Those selfish ways
Have anchored you there
In the misery you created
Alone, angry and crying “why me?”
Railing against the mess
You made
Forlorn
