BURN

Sam.C

Okay

Now i’m pissed

I let you in 

Into my house

Or rather 

You let yourself in

And like an idiot, i let you

You strolled right on through

Breezing through the barriers 

I had in place

Commenting on the colors

And decoration choices

While I chose to follow meekly

Now i feel stupid

Because I built that house

Unknowingly I  built it out of wood

I built tall walls

A dark room

Long halls

And a tomb

You took a match

A gallon of gasoline

And lit up the house that I built

The one that was meant to protect me

And I fucking stand there 

In the center of the house

My eyes unseeing

As they view the carnage 

My mind miles away

as the rain poured down from the sky

Swallowing the flames

And there amongst the ashes

Of who i once was

I relised 

That the one who i chose to let in 

Was not a friend

Ha

They never were

They were just a fucking snake

Who’s only wish 

Was to burn my house

And relish the heat of the ashes

But now i have risen 

From the ashes

Like a fiery phoenix

My eyes aflame

Kindled by the flames of your betrayal 

Now you best stay away

Little snake

Slither back into your hole

Or else I won’t be the only one 

With burns that go deeper than skin

Come on out little snake

And I’ll teach you a lesson

On why you  don't play with fire

As beautiful as it may be

When you play with fire 

Someone always gets a burn

Now, now little snake

Slither away

Across the bridges, you chose to burn

Don’t you DARE think you won this game 

That you made me play

It’s not over yet

Try not to forget

Karma catches up to everyone

And remember

Karma’s a bitch

But so am i 

While I don’t get angry often

You made a friend cry

You managed the feat of my fury

And it will rain down upon you 

Like hellfire, it will ring true

People tell me I’m angry

And i have every right to be

But

This doesn’t feel like anger

It feels like sadness and pain

Set ablaze

And even demons run for cover

from this undying feeling

that eats at my flesh

creating an angry rash

I never should have let myself care this much

But i did

And now I pay for it

I hope it hurts you 

As much as it’s hurting me too

And honestly

I think it’s pretty fucked up

How can you go and hurt someone

And be perfectly fine with it

For the guilt of the harm 

You willingly caused

To not eat you up inside

So be sure to pray to your gods

And your forgotten deities for mercy

Cause you’ve made an enemy out of me

And while your unkind gods may have mercy

Just know that i sure as hell won’t

May your skys go down in flames

Your heavens turn to hell 

Your good things turn to ash

Watch as i dance across the bridges You burned

  • Comment from author about the poem: this was a poem about a "friend" who betrayed me and tried to ruin every damn thing i care about. There is quite a bit of cussing and if you don't like it that's your own damn problem. I was hella mad while writing this and I'm still pissed. Honestly the betrayal doesn't hurt nearly half as much as the fact that he hurt my friends. Like people can walk all over me and dish out shit but the second you screw with my friends... well you better believe that imma start throwing hands. I couldn't classify this poem. there needs to be more emotionally related classifications available. Like happy, fear, anger. That sort of thing
