He has only hate in his heart for me.
The chair is set, the silence measured out,
A sanctuary built on trust and care,
But poison drips from lips devoid of doubt,
And shatters glass upon the heavy air.
He holds the scalpel, not to heal the wound,
But carves the edges deeper than before,
With every sharp remark, a life is pruned,
Left bleeding on the carpet of the floor.
How does he wear the title like a crown,
While dismantling the spirit, piece by piece?
To take a soul already bowing down
And offer torment, never its release.
What makes him think his seat is high and cold,
That he is judge, and god, and final word?
To trade the grace that he was meant to hold
For cruelty, left jagged and unheard.
It is a hollow man who plays this part,
Who mistakes a fragile life for common clay,
To reach inside and tear the beating heart,
Then watch the light of someone fade away.
Oh, heavy cost for those who came to mend,
To find the wolf has cloaked himself in white;
The broken heart has nowhere to defend
When darkness rules the healer’s weary light.

Amazing.This is very well constructed.I like the rhyme.For me it is a sad reflection on a relationship that has a toxic partner.Really quite viscious.Very well written
May I respectfully suggest you take a few deep breaths, sit back and write 500 times I will never make out with a narcissist ever again .. This is well crafted but dreadfully sad .. I additionally hope it is the product of a very gifted imagination and not autobiographical .. Neville
Friendship, this hit me like a punch to the chest. The betrayal woven through this...someone entrusted to heal instead becoming the source of harm...is absolutely devastating. The controlled anger and grief in the poem make it even more powerful. Incredible work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
