Battle of Vindictiveness

Randy Kim

Poetry

I’ve been trapped in your world of complications

Which led me to create my own emancipation

I saw right through your maddening contradictions

When you falsely accused me of having my own suspicions.

Your tempestuous nature was on different wavelengths

As your love for me severely lacked its fatherly strengths.

Our abuse towards each other started from the “Fuck You” words coming out of our lips

You forced me to live in your own blue-print world that I don’t want to submit

Our egos are put through daily battles

With still no determined victor;

Both our head-strong wills leave us pride-less and strangled

Even when I’ve escaped my own demonic conflict from you

I still struggle to give my love of you that’s long past due

I once hoped to start our relationship anew

And one day, bid these daily battles adieu

But since you’re so unaware of your contradictions

Your love is nothing more than a one-paragraph fiction

As you helped turn our battles into your daily addiction.
