"Beautiful"

One word and just like that
I am broken into two

Do not call me something so wondrous
If you feel anything less than love for me

Do not use such a heart-warming word
If you do not mean it with every bit
Of your soul

Do not call me that
Unless you have held me
Kissed me
And declared
That we will always be.

And she watched

As each one of her dreams

Came c r a s h i n g
D
    O
        W
             N
Around her

And all she had left was the dust

Of a fallen star

She once wished upon.

You're killing me but you're why I'm trying to stay alive

Some days
I just want
to strangle
the world.

A bottle
of whiskey
and a well
of anger

        say:

Back off.

Today is one
of those days.

But I get torn to pieces
For the stupidest reasons
