I am finally dried up

The colorful soul is now dull

A polluted and drained tree

A ghost now haunting itself

I am no longer free

No longer me

Wings that lay

Water that suffocates

A book that painfully unwrites itself

A poem that has no meaning

I am tired of pretending

You wanted my eyes never to blink

You liked it when mouths

Served only one purpose

I held your controlling finger

You loved me like a toy

Nothing but a manipulative, lover boy

Such a bittersweet temptation

Your strings tied to every part of my body

I was your abused substance

You always had your way

I was nothing but your ashtray

But like flour, I am dried up

No more use of me

No matter how much you scrub me off

I will always stay

I may be lifeless but I won't decay

I will cling like a germ

Till I get my revenge

Till you're a soulless monster

Till you’re no longer free

Till you’re just like me
