Open letter to undisclosed recipient
we were victims of the same crime
violated by common perpetrator
and our traumas took us to sufferings
most people will never know
i thought we would have bonded
an alliance of understanding
instead we became passive enemies
there were never any outright attacks
only the assaults of indifference
time and again i waved a white flag
a strange act as i was fighting no war
yet, i sought surrender
not from a fight but from schism
but it seems my act of concession
turned the white flag to red
your apathy flamed to hostility
you took an innocent prisoner
weaponized your own flesh and blood
a hostage to the pain you blame me for
torturing me by separation
a part of me cruelly severed
Do you see me bleeding?
Does it make you happy
watching my slow-dripping agony
when will this debt you've attributed to me
be satisfied
or will you charge the exorbitant interest of affliction
forever
