Beast at My Door

Today I see within you lays a beast. His name is betrayal and his hunger has become for you to contain. Discontent and lies are written in the whole where you heart once resided. Nothing within or with can last of innocence and jubilation. You have come as a destroyer clothed in garments of friendship and kindness. I am unable to point the finger of blame to you. I invited in your ruin.

You stood at my door seeking refuge from the world. I let you in my home and my heart. I extended my hand to you in kindness. I offered all that was mine to you asking for no recompense. These things which I gave you gladly took.

You accepted my gifts of love and friendship. You consumed my essence each day. You are a parasite to my soul. You ate all I had until I had no more. I lay before you exhausted from your needs. There are so many things for loved ones left undone. Unfulfilled they stay while I give to you more still. You hid your intent behind helplessness and need.

You sought my help and asked for compassion. I gave these to you freely from my heart. I spoke highly of you and placed you at my right hand. You mocked me and spit in my face for all I have done. You spread lies of my nature and deeds. A pit of vipers is where you lay in wait to destroy all I hold dear. I pray for you to flee from me so that my love can again be free.

I have loved you more than you ever deserved. I gave all I had and it was never enough to fill your hunger. You fooled my heart and left me bare. You toyed with my heart tossing it aside for your pleasures. Your friends with hearts of ice have laughed with you at my expense. You come yet once more before your work can be undone.

You have sown hate and bitterness in my heart. You leave me in shambles to attend my own wounds. You cause me to tend to one need while not knowing that the seed you left in my soul has grown. No one is willing to reap your harvest. I leave the same discord on others that you have placed upon me. I see you now for what you truly are. Depart from me betrayer of the heart. My home will no longer be welcome to you.
