Wash You Away

The bruises will fade,

Just like you will from my life.

I wish I could hate you,

but instead it is much worse.

because I am better than that.

Instead I am disappointed,

in the poor choices you continually make.

but it will never change who you are.

A person with no common sense,

that will always play the victim.

the cruel words I said to you.

But who was it that started our conversation,

and tossed the first stone?

in our inebriated state.

And you should have never brought up my husband,

yet instead sealed your fate.

but whose fault is that?

He caught you weaving those lies,

but you are still the victim.

and I should have listened to him.

Instead I was naive to think,

that after a year we could start again.

of your destructive ways.

Instead you spun a new web,

and hoped to target me like a fly.

and I escaped with a few wounds.

That night you sealed your fate,

and we saw you for what you really are.

for all they you have done.

Instead I just hope to forget you,

and that we never cross paths again.
