by acid

I curse your name to the depths of Hell– when not even Hell would see you fit in its blazing wrath. I curse your name to be shunned away by Heaven’s door above, so shall you suffer in excruciating agony in the void.

I curse you for making me loathe you to the very core. when you were once my forever home, oh, what a pathetic thought for one to even fantasise of.

I blame you for the chaos that I shall unleash upon you. I blame you for the rippings of my soul, for the hollow silence in my heart and for the inflamed scars on my skin. you caused them by your own hands, and deep down you know it well, that—

your hands shall forever stay bloody,

your hands shall always feel cruel.

for you know of what harm you have done to me, of how nefarious you can ever be.

and I will forever stand cold.

so you shall stay unforgiven.

miserable. alone.

“acid…?”

yes,

this is how acidic my words can breathe.
