“Emotionally Hexed” by Dominique K. Mathis

The world is stuck in a whirlwind. Warriors of the sexist, stop being so…reckless.

Why, oh why—stay? When you have emotionally left. Matter fact, it’s more like—How dare you stay when you have emotionally left…fool.

Slack Blacksmith you’ll never repair anything using the wrong tool.

Reside within mind to find, that a hammer cannot bang out this compromise.

Reside within time to find that a sponge cannot soak up every damned lie.

It will hurt, it always does, I know it’s cliché but only the truth shall work.

It hurts, but it—shall work.

Stop trying to break things without knowing how to replace them first.

Stop creating things without depleting the worship of past’s worth.

Just stop…

Stop advancing, without letting go

Holstering regretful boulders crystallized on cold shoulders.

How dare you stay with—a play on such great words, corny ass poetry.

Such mistakenly benevolent plans.

Woman, man, damn.

We’ve been hurt before just not by you.

So why stay; misleading perfection, how dare you stay when I am not your reflection?

Why do you stay when you argue every day over coequal lessons?

Coequal intentions, how dare you forsake restricted permissions?

Damn we’re stressing,

Dammit we’re stressing.

After the first heart break, after the 2nd attempt at my life. When you binged on revenge, your ex, your hate.

Reside within mind and realize that we are no tool.

We do not deserve to get used, especially, especially not by you.

How dare you stay and say—you love me…fool.
