Final Rites

An arbitrary inflation of dishonesty, span
with parasitic improvisations,
that is entrapped with sadistic
pluralistic morals that are decapitated

With the sweet seductive sarcastic traits
that allures your spirit that sanitized
all the toxic narcissistic threat and retaliation
it can only be executed with a letter of goodbye.

Confirmed by the sadistic demons that punctured
M\my heart, but for a split second, I romanticized the unity
of death, but was reminded of your deceptive nature.
as I sip on my moonshine, I realize that am I longer
that woman that swept under your lilac testimonial, and
and reminded me that I attended your funeral possession for
a reason and a season ago.

A brave heart to say goodbye and acknowledge the power
of goodbye. The shadows of your charisma, but after a couple
more sips, I remember I had a killer looking at me.

Yes, I laughed reminisced of all the joyous, adventurous, and crazy
moments, I was easing your ego and killing my values and everything I’ve healed from.

Once upon a time, I entertained your emotional triggers as you projected your crazed, insane innuendos as though I was the cause of your bullets. This only happened when I pleased everyone, respectively, and the day I said no more, I became an open target practice.

As I released and healed, I morphed into the divine being you didn’t want to see. But as it turned out, you tried to take credit for my sacrifice, hard work, discipline, and independence as though without existence, I wouldn’t be able to be the person I am today.

So, as I end this conversation, may you continue to mull over your bullshit and continue to place blame on me but never realize you no longer hold a place in my life.

Like everything in life, there’s a season for everything, a reason for everything, and your season ended nearly eight seasons ago.

I found peace, solace, tranquility, and independence without your aid or assistance, and I am thankful for the season we shared, but I don’t want to relive those moments, as I fought to love you and despise you simultaneously for the time allocated. It is okay because I learned a lot.

Most importantly, you taught me all the traits and qualities that I do not want in a person moving forward. As I lay you to rest and close this chapter, I send you my farewell wishes. It was nice but I must leave now.

Good night and good luck.
