Two B*****s and a Gun

I’m a wreck, I confess.

Look into my eyes and you’ll see a storm that never ceases.

Stand back so you don’t get drenched.

Come too close and these winds will whip you into next week.

 

But your eyes… Your eyes. Dreadful mirror eyes.

All you see is yourself, and all you do is highlight my flaws.

The beautiful irony, the grand joke,

the twisted sarcastic knee-slapper?

You’re blind to your own ugliness,

Miss Mirror Eyes.

 

You sit atop a throne of bones,

your conquests kissing your feet.

You’re a drop of poison slithering,

burning,

creeping its way down my throat.

You’re thousands of needles

being slowly driven into my skin.

Your voice grates my ears

like sandpaper on a sunburn.

 

(shut up shut up shut up)

 

This dam has shattered.

This fuse has reached its end.

The sirens are wailing out their warnings.

I am ready to explode.

Explode

Explode

Explode!

 

I think you could use a steel kiss upon your temple.

Take a long look into this glistening eye.

I am sick of that crown of perfect blonde hair.

I always thought you would look better as a redhead.

Murder is a crime, they say,

but at least I would go down in history

as the girl who finally outdrew you.

I know it's kinda dark. But poetry is where I let everything out. Let me know your thoughts. :)

Shortly I ought attend to my own "warfare and terrible highlight" of flaws in this notebook universe. Perhaps, great to highlight someone's flaws, (as long as a given person can take it and the flaws are Read or GOOD Flaws,) then again, when is a flaw ever a church offering no absolutes? You are knocked down but you get up again and working over the flaws, then left alone to our own devices, then not paying attention to what we need to, too hard on each other for a gentle second, then not hard enough. They think they out to get everyone and imagine that one person have all the crimes in the whole book, well watch out bystanders, you better not think people go undefended
