“You”
By R. Cary
You.
You have abolished my sense of self, my self-sanctuary into abolition. You have negated my personal morality once of attestation. My vengeance, once of chivalrous design, now of human designed disdain. You, you deny me, exploit me into insignificance. You, giving my soul for the hyenas to feed, stripping my liberties from my faith. You, who ravage my love, as piranhas feed. You, it is you. It is all you. I remember you. You, before you became a lost intention of cause; I remember you, who you were to me. Once, you were the golden armor I wore with pride. You were once the reincarnation of my hope and faith. It was you who came to my side. It was you who defended me, kept me safe, cared for my mind, my heart, my pursuits of self-justice. You, who took the time when I was crying. Internally. Combusting. It was you who I accepted into my life. It was you who showed me to remember I care. It was always you. It is still you. I need you. The you I loved. The you who I have given myself to, gave my secrets too. It is you. It is still up to you. It will always be up to you. Now, as I give myself again, will it be you
Again?
