Poetry of an Angry Man

to the person this was dedicated to:

if you read this

(and I'll make sure you won't)

you'll know you have dodged a bullet

because I have lost my mind

I disappeared

because I would have hurt you

and I did not want to.

But I was in pain

and that pain has to go somewhere

so here I am writing behind your back

despite having told you i've moved on—

don't get me wrong, i'm all moved on

but the wounds and scars are there

there are still things unsaid

so tell Satan my therapy can wait;

as I said,

I'll heal in hell
