Grating End

I grit my teeth and grated on you

You bashed ‘my’ ear with your tone

and your melancholy rings in it

tap dancing in my brain like horrid

pesty little children

We peered between the cracks

 too scared to go between

A circle of filth unraveled 

A stench unwarranted

We became masters of deceit.

We watered the seed of discontent

unconsciously out pouring decay

We closed the gate to pure and meaning

Chaos ensued and we danced in its charm

justifying our reckless selves

We rolled around in the dirty mud of it

like pigs in dirt, full of glee

but ready for the slaughter

Take hold of another day

and cover it with slime

We created a circle of filth

a stench unwarranted

We shot bullets of despair

no armour to protect

We shot at each other like

one shoots at the enemy

to save themselves

Your pieces were falling

off and exploding on me

The flames you threw at me

burned and scolded my heaviness

A sunken me

and a sunken you

and it was the end

Arms out-stretched to an empty receiving

we said goodbye and good riddance
