Cry Uncle

 

God I’m so over you

strung along from pillar to post

elevated pinnacle highs

with summit swirls of illusion

perpetrated to bring me down

cowering in submission

to prove what point

your superiority?

 

You, all powerful in this relationship

yet the strength of your authority

depends upon my submissive acquiescence,

otherwise, what have you actually gained?

 

Your humble presentation

masks a wrath of purpose

Except that it is your perpetuation, not mine

Should I fade into oblivion who is disappointed

You or me?

You I fear.

For you shall go on

recognizing and understanding loss

while I will have become

but a distant memory

passed to nothingness, to all except you

 

then will you cry for me?

Unconditionally?
