Darker Nights

Dark days. 

Darker nights. 

Seems like things 

are not right. 

Wondering why. 

Why and for what. 

Hard to imagine that 

is what you do. 

Playing funny games 

and

being cruel. 

Hurting without a 

thought. 

Vengeance from 

you for what I 

never do. 

Johnny come lately 

but that never save 

me. 

A smile.

Or was it a smirk?

A laugh? 

Or an intentional laugh

on me?

So hard to see. 

You sure fooled 

me. 

A bitter betrayal

that I never thought 

I would see.

Were tears what you

sought? 

And misery? 

Sobs hysterically?

Whatever for? 

You received it 

so I must get even 

more?

Lashing out.

Not looking back. 

Uncaring who you

subtly attack. 

Your smiling face 

simply an act. 

Smoothly behaving 

cruelly. 

Now I see. 

At first I thought 

it was me.

But two 

plus 

two 

will always be four. 

You had this planned

before you walked 

out of your door.
