Stone Sister Sonata

Stone Sister Sonata
(Passive Aggression Takes Its Toll)


Afraid of loneliness
Inadequacy
The unbearable truth must remain hidden
So she tries to control you.
You, who know her secrets
Her lies
Her sins
Her shortfalls
Her humanity.
Not enough for her.

Guarded, mistrustful
Refusing to show any weakness
Out of touch with her feelings
Out of touch with
Family,
Continuity,
She stands alone
Picking fights to keep her distance.

Threatened by others,
More intelligent
More talented
More empathetic
More compassionate.
She is a tyrant,
Unassailable and perfect.
She attempts to eliminate any
Threat to her
Sense of power,
No matter the cost
No matter the pain.

She fosters and thrives in chaos.
Makes promises she has no intention of keeping.
She is blind to her own misdeeds,
She is blind to love,
To family.
Whining that she is unfairly accused
The hapless victim of your
Excessive demands and tirades.

She withholds information, affirmation and truth
To feel power over you.
Constructing obvious lies,
Narratives of bullshit
Designed to hurt.
No straight answers
Only rehearsed retorts,
In that aggravating tone of superiority.
A master of mixed messages
A failure as a being.
Ignorance and audacity
Raise an intolerable stench
That won’t wash away.

Strip away your love for her
Now!!! Before it’s to late.
Abandon your expectations,
She will deliberately fail you.
Turn away,
Turn away,
Pay no attention
She feeds on your misery
Desperate to share her own.

Gilded, rust,
Pretension, perversion
Abuse.
Walk away!
Walk away!

The love that kept you imprisoned is
Shattered,
Forgotten.
The spell broken,
Freedom calls.
Cry now for you will miss her
You will grieve
She won’t.
Cry now and be done with it.
Cry now knowing you tried,
Knowing you loved,
But love is wasted on stone.
