On a night when the stars threw, their shining spears
Quietly, a gentleman broke down in tears.
He had suffered emotionally for many years
For his dear ones, he hid his fears.

Possessing a pure heart, oh so gracefully grand
The sinless soul, always extended a helping hand.
But people poisoned him, with their deceiving demands
& to his own problems, none wished to understand.

People took for granted, his kind deeds
Like parasites, they savaged him with their needs.
Like predators, they enjoyed seeing his heart bleed
They smirked when for mercy he used to plead.

Now back into his eternal darkness, turning
All his bloody soul within him, burning.
With smothering sadness within him, churning
He screamed in silence when none was observing.

He tears their parasitic roots from his heart
He silently cries, being wounded in the dark.
He leaves the tranquility of his torture unbroken
As he reflects on all the lies to him that was spoken.

He abandons the parasitic people who had betrayed
From those parasites, he silently drifts away.
Going his separate way to them he says
F*** you all & have a nice day.

Parting away, as he states this bitter-sweet wish
He crawls, in his tormented radiant bliss.
To his parasites, he blows a final farewell kiss
Thus, he gives them a taste of love, that they'll forever miss.

Will they....forever miss? Been a few years, but they are all gone. I have the power and their drama is all gone.
Totally relate. Thanks for sharing.

whether they shall miss it forever or not depends on whether or not you serve your heart out to them to feast on... So guess that does depend on person to person. Thank you for your readership. I'm glad you could relate with my poem. ️

Forgive, but never forget. True friends/family you will know them by their actions.
Sad poem,I hope you find kinder people to enjoy life with soon.

Thanks Rob glad you liked the dual nature of my writings.. Most of my poems do start on a dark note ( because I believe that if the emotions are true and raw then something splendid can be crafted out of our darkness) and end on a positive / hope note. Thank you for your readership and support .

Sad reality is better than a happy illusion, because its not fake. Truly grateful for your concern, life has been a bit tough for me but I've learnt to celebrate my sadness by decorating my darkness in the form of my rhymes. Thank you so much taking out the time to go through my poem.

Wow, I love it. Very powerful and inspirational, especially for those who have walked in those shoes.

Thanks for sharing!
