I snap you off like an overgrown fingernail
and slice at your throat
with the only weapon I have left,
the jagged pain of separation
pressing into the supple flesh
of a long dead dream of decency.
I've crossed the lethal distance
between cuticle and skin
but only pieces of unimportance
were swept away by lies.
The budding premonition below
shrieks with a vengeance
that turns marshmallow clouds
into black acid rain.
I'll never stop,
not until your soul has paid
the price of my admittance,
not until you've seen
the grass you've painted green
and the holes that run right through me
in the places my love for you ought to be.
But don't worry
you can have your life back,
just as soon as I've repaired
this breathing thing you do...
you can have it all back.

Stupid people never made a decision to be that way so I can usually muster up the self-control it takes to deal with them, but drunk assholes who lay all their crap on me as if I (the calm, innocent, sober one) deserved it... they seriously make me want to end lives. Me and the concept of forgiveness never saw eye to eye. If you're leaning on a crutch to help keep you standing upright, then don't fucking stab me with it! You're like that 90 year old man poking random children for playing in the sidewalk with his cane. Wake up buttfuck, you don't own the sidewalk. If you have to abuse somebody, do us all a favor and go fucking finish yourself off in the privacy of that prison you call a buzz. Each day alcohol motivates a person to blame all their problems on me murder gleams sightlier. You people are diseased and need to dump your shit on somebody else's back if you value your lives. Sorry. I'm quite pissy today.

Pissy maybe, but this is dark and powerful. WOW! I do hope it helped to write it at least.
