I could force these tears
In a thoughtful response
To that of which you tried to embrace
And that of which you deemed to be true.

I could never escape your hold
Of pain and distrust against myself.
The trickery you portrayed
Made me devious against my heart
And slanderous of my being.

I longed to relax
And corrupt the tension you created
To strangle my veins
Causing my numb paradise
Of unknown flattery.

I finally escaped your hell
And embellished in my own
To find the past time of courage
You shattered with rumors
And whispers of ended stares.

I will never watch you sleep in vain
And kill my mind with ridiculous claims.
As the wind fades in ruptured sequences
I can forgive the fire you started
And ended so peacefully
Yet abruptly.

My leaves are scorned
And covered with your ashes
As my tree lingers in the distance
And reaches farther away...
Once again, I am free.
