I’ve experienced robbery and I’ve experienced death. Most times it’s a sequential order.
Many a time, it drips in scarlet blood. Sometimes, it quenches love and puts out virtue. It consumes the kindest heart without remorse. Time and time again, it defies logical reasoning and begets untold misery unfolding in uncanny sorrows-a poignant epiphany.

Oh, the cruelty of mankind. The spuriosity of humanity. The tragic greed and selfishness that devours gold till the very last bit at the expense of a priceless soul. Thieves don’t see humans, only prey.
Mire waters have fallen; grey is the moon and hazel grows the sun, mourns like neighs and screeches like screams erupt the air for the joy I had once beknown. Oh, the irradiant joy I had once beknown was forcefully choked, snatched, and plundered from my naïve hands.
Innocently, I threw my heart’s key fallibly into your death-loving hands. Time grew and bonds bloomed, friendship came like a burst of sunshine on the petals of a lil bud flower. Your hand in mine lapsed together. A marvelous sight, a sworn bond, knit together, woven with the same fabric, joined at the hip. What could come between us? A cherished diamond etched in my heart. Adversities we weather. Storms we surf. Love or so I thought embraced our handsome relationship.
As the famous saying goes: ‘Time reveals all.’
After enough epoch expelled equal to my ebony demise, you struck. As the head of the snake bites the tail, you killed us. An astounding betrayal that swathes my comprehension into a wrung abyss. What happened to you having my back? What happened to you being at our beck and call? What happened to calling first? What happened to you spending hours? Intimacy? Intentionality? Inconveniences? Actions? Sacrifices? What happened to me being in your thoughts? Yes, what happened to me? How I never saw the manipulative, machiavellian, maleficent scare behind the mask? Your clever, calculated cunningness. How you gaslighted, tricked, whispered lies, and slandered me to believe things as though they were. How you imposed your lens, your perspective on my very doe eyes. You changed me. I changed me.
I let you in and you sneaked your way through the tears of my heart up to the lids of my eyes and thickly blindfolded me. Years down the lane, I adopted you as my only friend, my savior, my companion, my safe space, maybe my heartthrob like you wanted. Two peas in a pond. Seconds turned to days, days to years and still, it felt like mere seconds with you. I yearned for all of it.❤
A bond inseparably yet your lies unexplainable. Moments turned to good ole memories. Slowly, the friendship wanes. Slowly my heart aches, instead of loving you’re just convenient. Like a chameleon, you blend with whatever feeds you. Changed till your face resembles another and I’m stranded looking for the one I first admired. I fell for a clone. Now, I’m alone.
Endless compromises, promises ever failing. I did I sought you. An emptiness fills the hollow you created. The happiness I owned and watered; now stolen and mercilessly vandalized. Slowly, creepingly slowly, you take along riches, houses, assets, fortunes, accolades, accommodations, material, and non-material commodities. Everything you took. You took and took and took. I was stripped of cherished proclivities, even my dignity you ripped.
You embodied the phrase ‘greed is a bottomless pit.’ You came back for one more. My life. With your deceptive charm and egregious aggressiveness, you strangled my existence from my exhausted lungs.
THIEF YOU ARE. THEIF. Friend, fiend, and thief look too alike to me now. On the surface, I'm merely hurt; but as this wound cuts deeper, the bandage slips further.
