Undeniable

i stopped being friends with this guy recently and now hes kind of harassing me, we have a creative writing class together and he wrote a poem about me dying???? like???? homeboy is so over dramatic

I know that you need
something you can hit until your hands are bruised and bloody
I am thankful that you chose me
I am thankful that you chose me
for if it were someone else
rage would consume me
I would have reason to claw at your eyes
because then you would have to look
you would have to see me
the halo crooked and bent
the light in my smile fading
the seeping holes in my skin
the oil stains that are my teeth
the dirt and flesh under my nails
you’d have to look
you'd have to take a picture
of a fallen angel
of me in my prime

why do I have to rip away at you
why do I have to rip away to get in
you collected rats and snails
kept them as pets
fed them raw red meat
held them inside the softest parts of you
I conquered worlds for you
countless bodies robbed of life
battlefields and buildings
left vacant and decaying
but you wouldn’t turn your head
you were my one and only
all that I knew
you didn’t care
or maybe you stopped along the way
you told the council that I was a loveless book of matches
that I was a liar who couldn’t set anyone ablaze
that you didn’t care what hurt me
oh
but I never thought
that it could be you

I’ve outgrown
the gnashing
the ripping
the beating
the words
that should have been left unsaid
but you continue to speak
of feelings that aren’t yours
of things that are supposed to make you human
sweat
and heat
and touch
you do not own this hell
your name is not biblical
it is hardly a shout
hardly a whisper
it's all used up pretty boy

and so now
I am done dear
