Revenge is sweet



It's nice to see you smile,
Even if it's just for a little while.
Because whenever you see me,
It's as if you forget how to be free
Of all the troubles you have seen
In this dark world, so obscene.

And in the end when i am sad,
I can only make you mad
You leave as fast as you came
And your friends tell me it's just a game
A game I'm stuck in far too long
All because you are the wrong.

At last I finally leave for good,
My heart as black as ebony wood.
My thoughts are cold, no tear was shed,
Only your blood, so ruby red.
Now I know revenge is sweet,
It sparked in me a new heartbeat.

About this poem

This came to me after realizing that person in my life right now is truly themselves when they are with me and that I might be very annoying at certain times.
