In The End

I begged

waited for you to hear

to acknowledge

the words that I was speaking

only you looked at me

as though I spoke a foreign language.

I screamed

stomping my feet

like a child you said

driving me to rage

you still were not listening

only pretending to engage.

Tears

fierce

hot

burned my face

flowing over cheeks

dripping from chin

you wag a finger at me

disdain

cannot believe I will not shut my mouth.

Ragged breath

gasping

no longer can I care

furrows rent

flesh beneath my nails…..

I despise you.

I hate you.

I loath you.

False claims of love

never ending

liar

liar

pants on fire

I will stab you in the end.
