Venom & Salt

I broke free, from the confines of a doomed ship

I knew it would crash on the rocks if I continued on

Yet you still say 'I love you', cling to my skirt tails despite my wails

You claim that you will always love me, that you have no resentment

Yet when you speak of depression you speak of my actions

I was kind when I cut the ropes, yet you strangle us in them each step of the way

I can feel the resentment building like the crest of the wave

I can taste the salt in your words like sea water on my lips

You think you can hide what you are feeling, yet I see every bit 

You forget my fluidity, you are beginning to hate me for the very thing you love me for

Isn't it sad when love isn't loving anymore?

Your words sting and you know it, watching me wriggle and writhe in the barbs you through

You say you don't want to go, yet you drag me through the mud simply so you can cry

I am not a Wendigo here to eat your dying heart

I am a Woman here to be a friend

I thought you could be my best friend, but that's coming to an end

You resent me, you are beginning to hate what you used to love so great

So when it comes, and you spit venom for the first time, I'll be ready, I don't go down easy

Spit your venom sweetheart, its the reason I have scales and walls

You aren't such the 'nice' guy you pretend to beI am glad I won't be taking the fall
