Jump Ship
By: Kiyane Lawery
He wouldn't speak of me like others
I'm the one who ruined his life, you know.
The one who ripped out his soul and killed the one thing he desired.
BLAME ME!
I'm the murderer...
I killed his heart, his mind, sent him away crying.
I'm the one who slowly drank away our sin... the life of his unborn child.
I was so young, alone, with no one to hold me as I cried.
I carried a child with no love.
I hated the part of him that I held inside.
The blood that pumped through my vains... his blood.
I've reached the peak of emotion.
That spot where everything is so fucking painful that the little flame that burnt within my heart blew out in a quick puff of smoke.
It billows from the inside of my silent heart.
I'm damaged.
I work for revenge, and revenge alone.
I hated a child because of all the pain, the hate, the distance you gave.
My heart has jumped ship.
It doesn't want you anymore.
