You spoke harshly.
I was not used to your way
of carving knife word wizardry
as you took my hand
(never literally,
of course)
and showed me the light.
That light was their laughter.
"But it's over now. (Oh God, don't let it start again)
Tomorrow,
we will un-fat you."
You said so because
you have a heart.
It grew, like a weed,
in destructed soil.
A cockroach, alone in ashes.
Was there nothing left of you, too?
"Next week, my brother's here."
A fair warning, and a word
to encourage this belittling.
WorkharderworkfasterbebetterandGO!
"Remember her?
She's changed
some."
In eight years, i've growned
and regressed to lack
of capitalisation.
i learnt how i is nothing,
but You is everything.
You taught me that, You.
"She's so much bigger now, isn't she?"
But still sprawled at your feet
begging
to be good enough
(for the torture to be worth it)
Author notes
When I'm mad at something or someone, I tend to focus on something else. Or not, come to think of it... Anyway... This is just the easiest thing to throw up there. Hence it's crap. But you chose to read it! It's the start of one part of my life, but kinda the ending part of another.

that imagery is amazing[as always]
i'm running out of words to show you how amazing i think your writings are, so I'm gonna stop here
it was great, and no crappiness at all.

dang. When you started uncapitalizing the 'i's and capitalizing the 'You's... wow. That's great artistic and poetic talent there.
You show so much in your poetry. Even though I don't understand sometimes, your poetry makes it so clear for me.
