you shrink yourself down to someone else create an image that might only work for a couple months i hope you and him hate each other after all this i hope you split his heart in half i hope his knuckles get soft and his eyeballs rot i hope you freak out when he’s beside you i hope i echo like a freight train in your brain i hope the lies that you told attempt to sing you lullabies on your sleepless nights, but only conjure up nightmares i hope you grip them hard in your palms and make him sob. i hope your remembrance of me strikes you guilty, i hope the circumstances make you wither, but then i hope you don’t have to live with yourself any longer and i hope you change and stop worshipping yourself. i hope this charade ends with you, ashamed and sunken, realizing that your ego will always crack leaving only you and its remnants. i hope you want it all back but as you can see, it is dead and buried. i hope your body abandons your mind and finds a new host. i hope you never go back to your scheming, i hope you change and never revert back to who you were.
