Please just let me go.
Drop me on this cold tile floor and watch me shatter
into an array of brightly colored pieces.
I never belonged to you.
Finders keepers.
I'll stay here and wait for another disaster to come along,
to convince me this is all I'm destined for.
I never looked you in the eye because I wanted
to make sure you wouldn't remain in my memory.
I want to be able to forget you and what you could've meant to me.
If only I hadn't trusted you.
I thought I love you meant you would be mine forever.
We would stay together and never let prejudice and doubt
dishonor the purity of perfection in nightfall.
I wish I could believe that with my blood and bones,
but this body doesn't mean anything to me anymore.
I'll break the fingers whose gossamer touch spoke to you,
gage out the eyes that whispered the secrets
hidden in their sapphire depths,
bite the lips that lied and kept the truths locked away
behind ribs in stony silence.
My blood will run its course and tell my story
as it stains our fairy tale ending.
Destroyed in darkness and forgotten in fables,
I'll remain six feet under.
I'll let these monotonous beats bury me
beneath the knowledge that my chest still rises and falls.
I don't deserve to be alive.
