All the promises I made I could not keep
For I was smaller than my own words
A beautiful woven
masterfully crafted
Lie
But he was so unaware, so oblivious
And so he put all his trust in me
All the bitterness I awakened in him!
This bitterness enabled me to steal
The happiness of
the little things
His cynicism gave me purpose
Allowed me to take all of life‘s joyful moments
and hide them away forever
And I relished in this power
He went to sleep angry
and awoke enraged
I gave him this anger
To replace solace
And knowing this I paid no heed
He was weak before my assurances
Of heaven and of eternal salvation
He was like a child
I crafted his innocent dreams
And then used my merciless hands
To uproot them
To shatter him
All the confusion that I inspired
For I was the source of everything
I could taking it away willingly
Knowingly and happily
Confident in my control
I grew close to him
Letting him open me
Assured he could do me no harm
He was insignificant
So I let my curiosity get the best of me
For I too wanted to be inspired
And when I grew too close to him
When I let him overcome me
I nourished him
He grew from my love
He thrived on my words
And so he began to question me
And I followed his lead
Playing the role of the child
of the mother
All at once
All so carefree, so recklessly
To pacify myself when he chastised me
And when he broke my heart
When he shattered everything
He had a thousand reasons
All numbing me
Silencing me
Accusing me
His words were enveloping me
And my lies were suffocating me
And I was broken
Unable to say a word
He had betrayed me
And suddenly he did not seem so small to me
