i don't need a boyfriend. i need a therapist.
i'm not meant to be the one that got away. I'm meant to be the bullet you dodged.
i'm so yours. i'm so sorry.

So there they stood, staring one another down. It was an act of rebellion in a way, seeing something almost sacred. No one can plan for the sugar shock electric rush.

staring down a loaded gun
my mortality mocks me

fading away a little each day.
another decision, made for me

just wanted to leave a mark.
do good, make a difference

its getting dark now; too hard to stay awake.
loneliness echoes when all your hours are spent asleep
sick and tired of being tired and sick

tomorrow, we duel
(yes, that is pompous to say
- but you once told me my affinity for the dramatic
was something that endeared you to me.
was that a lie, too?)

neither of you fools know quite who you are dealing with.
your mythic ***** has teeth and will bite if prompted.
i don't think you understand what i am capable of.
and i definitely know neither of you recognize how frightfully average you are.

i carved a home out of my own broken bones,
i sang with the freezing january wind,
i walked along highways with nothing to my name but a backpack and an oversized teddy bear.

you do not know half of what i could do
-- and you never will.
you're not worth it.

i still feel all of my hate.
twisting in my stomach,
gnawing away at my thighs,
hollowing the spaces
where softness used to live.

one more hit—
and the hunger goes quiet.
yes one more hit—
and the pain subsides,
just long enough
for all of my hate
to finally consume
the last tender parts of me.
