you ruined music for me
I can't listen to a beautiful song
without wanting to share it with you.

I dread Christmas
because I remember
when you gave me the gift of family.

I can't believe in love
not because I don't think it exists
but because I know it does, and it will never end well.

I don't know how to live a life without you in it
but remind myself every day that I have to
because you are poison, and I'll take it all.
