Slaughter

My temper increasingly rises

With another one of Red's surprises.

They surface the murky water

Making me increase the oncoming slaughter.

Starting to see red vision

While trying to sort through this indecision

Of wanting to be with you whatever it takes

On the day of your 1 year promise no matter the stakes.

Trying to control my anger urges

But I can't because more **** emerges.

Why can't I just have you to myself for one ******* day?

Why does his words have more impact than what I say?

If he's so ******* great, why are you even trying

To make this work, since half the time I'm sleeping while crying?

Am I even worth this sacrifice of what seems like forbidden love?

Or should I just lay down and wait for death to take me below instead of above?
