An Enemy Of The Heart

You say that there’s more beyond your scratched surface

All of that water-rage trapped within your frozen rivers

On other people’s thin ice, you intentionally figure skate

While knowing their sufferings that make them shiver

I am not a pearl diver nor a treasure hunter

I do not have to dive deep down into the ocean of your character

To solve the mystery of what’s under its layers

No excuse can pardon your toxic behaviors

I have built up my walls of vulnerability

That was only seen as the gateway of an opportunity

For you to pounce on any cracks in my armor

My ships of endless doubts and worries found comfort

On the strength of your words, they built their harbor

Were we not kids together once?

Did we not roll down the hills of our town?

And shot at each other with finger guns?

We were each other’s synonyms

And now you are a hero’s hated antonym

Though now we stand behind each other’s enemy lines

We are the horizontal line that splits the earth and sky

Two heavens that are forbidden to collide
