take the pain,

sever dead roots,

cry on the soil,

thank the universe. 

the whole world

is wrapped around 

a single finger

of your hand

yet you have

the audacity

to shame me

for leaving you

when all it was

for me was hurt

and all it was

for you was lust

how dare you

when the world

throws itself

at your feet

the whole damn

universe

throws itself

at your feet.
