Scratch You Thin

Blink;
because I feel like tuning you out.
I heard your laughter from yards away
and ran when my palms began to itch.


You're an allergy that seems to affect
the way my stomach holds together.
It took a moment of lacing
before I could stand straight...

And I still can't get the slits out of my lips
from the way I bit your heart out.


I bet you wouldn't know;
that I vomited up my memories
in a corner of those walls.

No, you wouldn't know;
because that kind of drama
is your sorta cadence.
So you would lead yourself to believe.

Sometimes, when I can't sleep--
I imagine the way you would scream
if I finger-fucked your insides.

Maybe I'd press a revolver to my chest;
and let you choose my death
while I scratch
you thin.

Author notes

I swear.

I'm going to get out of this 1st person state of writing soon.
I can't stand it.

I'm an abstract writer.
Soon enough; I'll get back to it.

Please tell me what you think

    what's wrong with 1st person?
    the only problem i have with it is when people assume that you're writing about yourself when using 1st person.

    moving on:
    And I still can't get the slits out of my lips
    from the way I bit your heart out. <--for me: best part
    also; the last bit was good. they both have that kind of catch that makes you want to take it seriously and really focus. 13478374230 thumbs up, dahling <3

        "DESTORY" I pronounce it like "DE STORY" like arnold is going to read me a bed time fairy tale.

          That was the best mental image I've had in a long time.

          I was pronouncing it... DE-STORY... like, THE ANTI STORY.
