the barbs lodged in your walls
are so hard to get out
how long has it been since they
landed there
though you’ve been forgiven
and you said you forgave
they still weep
wormwood and gall
so keep on drinking
your bitter wine but know
that it’s poisoning
me
i know this isn’t what
you intended but the problem is
you can’t see
what it’s doing to
you
the darts stuck in my walls
are so hard to get out
so why am i surprised that they’re
still with me
you asked forgiveness
and yes i forgave
but your words hurt
even now
so keep on drinking your bitter wine
but know that it’s poisoning
me
i know this isn’t what
you intended but the problem is
you can’t see
what it’s doing to
you
