just a short peice, about justification
How could you have lied when you said
That you would love me forever?
Did forever end with my death?
Hauntingly close, I can see you with her.
It has only been a week since I have left,
And yet, there you are, holding her in the
Arms that you once held me in.
Suspicions arise in the mind I once had.
If you had any heart at all, wouldn’t you
At least pretend to be sad?
Yet there you are, the man I thought I knew
And you’re laughing and loving on her.
I only hope that the living will soon figure you out.
Then they’ll know the terrible death I suffered,
Two cold hands around my neck, no breath in which to shout.
My insides were screaming with rage, as my body fell limp.
You said that this was for the best, that it was supposed
to be this way.
Maybe if you tell them that, maybe if you explain why you
Did what you did, then maybe your conscience would clear.
Go ahead, tell them for the sin that I had to pay.
Let the world know that I did not deserve to live.
Convince them with these lies.
Although I know the truth, and the truth is just this,
I loved you with every fiber of my being.
From what I could tell, you loved nothing by the
Look in your eyes.
So, please, tell everyone why you killed me,
Try humoring them with the truth.
Let them know that I loved you with all of my might,
But you took me for granted.
You complained that the house was never clean,
That your dinner was never warm.
You always thought that I made you look bad,
These are the reasons that my life ended.
No longer living, I can promise you this,
You will pay for the things that you’ve done.
I am telling you now that your last moment
Of peace on earth will be the last time you ever feel safe again.
I will haunt you in your sleep, I will tear you up inside.
Justice will be served, you will not have a moment of peace,
Not even when your guilt eats you alive in the end.
