ENOUGH

Relishing in the pleasure

Of watching you play this tireless game

Intoxicated

By the one

You know

You shouldn't want

Waiting for the perfect moment

When

The student becomes the master



Enveloped by silence

Not a word escapes your lips

Yet

Your eyes

Tell me everything

Subconsciously sharing

Your deepest fears and desires

As you silently plead for mercy

That I won't rip your heart to shreds



With a cruel laugh

The silence is broken

As I inform you that the rules have changed

In this game

You thought you played so well

Each word bringing sweet retribution

For the pain you've caused me

Harsh words robbing your spirit

As you fearfully wonder

What I plan to do to you



Suddenly

So beautiful

The queen is on parade

As your life flashes before your eyes

You cry out

Raising one arm

To block the blow

As you frantically beg me to stop



I wasn't pretty enough for you

I wasn't smart enough for you

I wasn't good enough for you

I was never enough



Splatters of blood

Adorn my hands

As you lay lifeless upon the floor

My mind flooded

With harsh memories

Of all the times you

Used me

Hurt me

Exploited me



A bittersweet portrait

Of love gone wrong

Retaliation a joyous cry of victory
