Clear Away the Filth

Clear Away the Filth

A Poem by AMetaphoricalSoul

If I am the cause of your pain
Then you should be rid of me
You are too good to suffer
Too valuable for my defects
You are a treasure
And I am a rot that spreads
The s**t that corrupts
And you deserve better than my infection
You are so much more than my failings
I need not be saved
For my place is in hell
Where angels such as you do not belong
You are the sky
While I am the dirt
The garbage of existence
Polluting your atmosphere
Exhaling filth
Spewing toxicity
So throw me aside
Toss me away
Forget me
Let me not be a stain on your life
I have asked too much of you already
Stolen an excessive amount of your vitality
Wasted a surplus of your time
I am obliteration
The destruction of all that is good
Let this be a warning
As I lack the courage to walk away
The traumas of my past paralyzing me
So walk away from me
Leave me to die alone
For your own good
