Some Things Are Mine

Once you've joined the fray, you better haul a*s to fix it.

You need to realize now,

Stephen... darling

I don't take well to people who steal my friends.

You see,

Dearest nemesis,

There are some things that are mine.

My friends are my family,

and I'll go very far

To protect them from harm.

But you pose a threat you scumbag,

Something that'll always make my insides rot

And oh how you'll pay.

Don't think you can take my decade-long best friend,

That I love so dearly and hold so deeply in my heart

In such cliche and manipulative ways.

Once you've touched my friend,

You deserve hell

And I'll give it to you since you started a war.

You make me ache for the return

Of cold razors

To my vellum wrists.

So Stephen my boy,

You better kiss my a*s and give her back

Before I go on offense.

If you read the italics, my friend is speaking to him. If you read the underlined bold, that is me.

And a note to the man of which inspired two poems in one day: You better hope karma slaps you in the face before I do.

Great dialog that really let me into the characters straight away

Thanks Blue.

It is brilliant how you make a sentence out of a few words in the poem!
This is so Taylor Swift-ish (if you ever bought her albums you would see that there are a few letter capitalized in the lyrics. Put them together and they form a sentence.)
About the poem. It is between nice to fantastic. Now you chose :)
Fantastic of course!

[Shivam Murari]

PS - I suppose this is the first time you have sworn in your poem?

[Riley Bray]

Ah, well, not the first time. Some of my older works have swears in them also, but they're rare. :P Why?

[Riley Bray]

Thanks by the way haha. I appreciate.

[Shivam Murari]

Oh no! I just wondered. :)

[Tai Ryens]

My, such hatred for Stephen, I almost feel pity for her. I quite love the reference to the return of razors upon the wrist, such things intrigue me to think that the thought of hurting oneself would surely bring pain to another; my, I find the moment relateable. Well done speaking your mind, keep it up.

[Riley Bray]

Thanks Tai. And yeah, I have a feeling that same hatred will stay with me for a while. Oh the things I would give to never have had him enter my life in the first place.

I like this, who is Stephen? It shows how angry you both are for whatever this man has done. Bravo(:

[Riley Bray]

Stephen is the cocky little b*****d that my friend is infatuated with and lustful towards, (though she calls it love, which if you saw how obsessed she was you, as I do, would blatantly disagree), who has convinced my best friend that I'm using her. Never mind that this next year is our Decade Friendaversary. I simply asked her if she actually wanted me around, (since she was giving me the cold shoulder), a query I thought would give birth to a simple answer. But no, of course not, far too much to ask, right? She told him about how I gave her an 'ultimatum,' and he said if I was cruel enough to do that to her she shouldn't be friends with me. NINE YEARS I have stood by her side through all kinds of crap, and then this random guy comes along who she gets a crush on, and after ONE YEAR she does everything he says. Like honestly. What is up with that? Now, sorry for my tangent, but THAT, my friend, is why I say he deserves to rot in only the fierest, or frostiest, of hells.

[UseMeAbuseMeCureMe]

I think he deserves to rot in hell too, I had a boyfriend like that once, b*****d. So what are you going to do about your friend, are you gonna be there when Stephen leaves her or are you gonna stand by her?

[Riley Bray]

To be honest, I'm pissed with her also. I can't just blame him since she allowed him to do it. Thing is, though, they AREN'T bf and gf, he just has her wrapped around his finger and is leading her on. I'm so mad that its gotten to the point that being around her makes me angry or depressed. Frankly, I would have taken a hiatus from our friendship already, but she's extremely introverted and I'm her only friend in real life, so leaving her wouldn't be good. Stephen also has depression and whenever he has episodes, she starts having anxiety attacks and gradually getting worse. I feel like, since she and Stephen have purely an internet relationship, someone has to take care of her in the real world. So, as a test of friendship, I'm standing by her. I called her my sister for so many years that to leave her now, in her time of need whether she knows it or not, is the highest kind of betrayal. You know? :/

[Riley Bray]

It's just infuriating how easily manipulated she is....she just doesn't understand how people have ulterior motives. I just want the best for her but she see's the best in the people, which isn't always that great a thing...

[UseMeAbuseMeCureMe]

yeah i know what you mean but at the same time you cant let yourself be treated like crap. If its an internet thing, why is she so involved, dating online shouldnt be serious at all

[Riley Bray]

Hoo boy, sorry about that. He just gets my goose, ya know? Anyway I'll get to your read requests soon, I didn't do any for a while so they piled up and I'm going in order. Give me a day or two and I'll get to it. Night

[Riley Bray]

She's the kind of girl that latches on to one person, she just doesn't choose the right people, usually. I like to think I'm one of her good choices, not one of her mistakes. I may deserve better, but she doesn't deserve to be alone. I can't let her kill herself. Whether I like it or not, I love her and she needs me. When I made the vow, sisters forever, that's what I meant...no matter what.

[UseMeAbuseMeCureMe]

okay thanks :) night

[UseMeAbuseMeCureMe]

youre a really good person, for sticking by her
